Death is, indeed, the engine of life. - Evan Lewandowski
Evan is the soul behind the wines of Ruth Lewandowski. He explains that “Ruth is a concept more than a living, breathing individual." He believes wholistically in the approach to the concept of the natural cycle of death and redemption. Simply put, nothing could be alive today without something having to have died first. And he strongly believes that from higher powers above us to the vines and the soil. Evans makes some really fun natural wines out of some historic vineyards in Mendocino County with the care of organic practice and very natural winemaking methods.
A wild blend and even better a wine.
"Vintage 2021 was a remarkably low-yielding year in many of our prized Mendocino vineyards. As a result, we sought out a few new and incredibly intriguing fruit opportunities, building upon our previous vintages’ aroma, flavor, and textural signatures of the Piedmontese varieties we’ve come to know and love in this cuvée. The majority of the blend remains the usual Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo carbonic co-ferment. However, we’ve peppered in a smattering of other appropriate carbonically macerated ingredients such as Trebbiano, Pinot Noir, and even a bit of carbo Zin."
