RUTH LEWANDOWSKI Feints

"Feints" from Ruth Lewandowski is a captivating and unconventional natural wine that embodies the innovative spirit of winemaker Evan Lewandowski. This light-bodied red is a co-fermentation of Piedmontese grape varieties—primarily Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Arneis—blending three reds with a white to create a unique and refreshing profile. Grown organically at Fox Hill Vineyard in Mendocino County, California, the grapes undergo full carbonic maceration, a process that keeps the wine vibrant, poppy, and fresh, with low tannins and high drinkability. The result is a complex yet carefree wine, bursting with bright fruit notes like raspberry, cranberry, and stone fruit, layered with subtle herbaceous and earthy undertones. Often described as "gluggable," Feints is a versatile, chillable red that pairs beautifully with lighter fare or stands alone as a sophisticated, adult fruit punch. Rooted in Lewandowski’s philosophy of natural cycles and minimal intervention, this wine reflects both the terroir of its origin and the artistry of its creation.
