Adroit Trousseau Stiletto San Benito 2020

From the legendary vineyards of Ron Siletto in San Benito County, this Trousseau is a wonderfully creative expression of a traditional varietal. Trousseau typically expresses itself in a light, ethereal style — a grape beloved in the Jura for its food-friendly character and delicate red fruit. Here, winemaker Chris Miller has taken that beautiful fruit and plugged it in with carbonic winemaking, unlocking a vivid, aromatic, and deeply pleasurable wine.

San Benito County is one of California’s most exciting and undersung wine regions, and the Siletto vineyard is one of its crown jewels. This is a wine for those who love discovery.
