Founded by winemaker Alex Pomerantz and two wine-loving friends, Subject To Change continues to be an ambassador for California growers in under-represented regions that are otherwise proving to be great sources of quality organic and biodynamic grapes.
The Feliz Creek vineyard near the town of Hopland in Mendocino County is no exception,boasting 80-100 year-old vines yielding Carignane and lesser amounts of Alicante,Berger,Grenache,and additional red varietals thought to be mixed in the same block.
Harvested at 21 brix (aka sugar),50% of the grapes were destemmed and mixed with the remaining whole clusters in a short,10-day maceration that included both pumpover and punch-down (aka pigeage) cap management followed by five months in neutral French oak. Enough tannin for versatile food pairing but best as a no-brainer 'Bistro Wine' for those needing an everyday go-to.
