No Love Lost Counoise "Lodi"

No Love lost wines are produced in Napa, California. Their mission is to make wine accessible to the curious by creating an open and welcoming community. While emphasizing tradition, Jay Nunez has taken advantage of innovation to bring discovery and exploration to all our senses.

Pale ruby color with hints of pink in the glass. The nose is fruity, tangy and fresh. On the palate, there are hints of Watermelon Kool-Aid and ripe strawberries. The wine has juicy, approachable, and lustful notes with toasty overtones.

This wine is ideal with grilled poultry, BBQ, with cheeses like cheddar, pecorino, and gouda, with grilled salmon or with mushroom risotto.

The grapes were carefully brought into the cellar and gently placed in a stainless steel fermenter. The tank was then securely wrapped and sealed, enabling the grapes to initiate fermentation through carbonic maceration. After a period of 15 days, the tank underwent foot treading before being pressed. The wine continued its fermentation process in barrels, where it remained on its lees for a year. Neutral burgundy barrels were selected to provide the wine with a peaceful resting place.
