Aaron & Cara Mockrish landed in North Yuba County in the mid-2000’s with the dream of starting a farm. After a fateful bottle of Clos Saron Black Pearl 2008 they were set on an entirely new path when they discovered the winemaker, Gideon Beinstock, lived close to them. Gideon was the former winemaker at the infamous Renaissance Vineyards run by the cult “The Fellowship of Friends”, check out the podcast Revelations for more dish on them. After a mentorship from Gideon, the Mockrish’s made their first vintage in 2015 and were able to establish a relationship with the Renaissance Vineyard as the stewards of a few blocks of own-rooted and dry-farmed vines.
The Limited Hangout is comprised of Picpoul (40%), Chenin Blanc (40%), and Petit Manseng (20%) from Saureel Vineyard in the 'Gold Hill' district of Placerville, Sierra Foothills. The vineyard is planted at 1650' elevation on decomposed granite soils, and is farmed organically. The fruit was harvested (by Frenchtown) in 3 passes and undergoes a slow and long pressing which extracts some color, then fermented in stainless before aging for 10 months in stainless and neutral French oak.
I absolutely loved this wine. It’s a great portrait of the intense sun and terroir of the Sierra Foothills. Concentrated and intense orchard and stone fruits, honey suckle, and a whisper of smoke make for a complex nose. Those concentrated and ripe fruits are in the glass as well, lending depth and complexity that are lifted up by notes of ginger, fresh herbs, and a hint of white pepper. Jeremy Hernandez
