No great wines are “made.” They are, rather, a reflection of where they came from and how their “maker” was able to imprint his influence within them. When I am alone in the cellar amongst the barrels, thief in one hand and glass in the other, I can’t help but taste in a way that goes beyond simply “sensing” what my eyes, nose and palate tell me—becoming truly aware of, and a part of, what is in my glass. When I smell a beautiful note or taste a certain fruit coming through in a wine, I think not, “this wine is finished and beautiful,” but rather, “where along its life continuum is it? And how have I, am I, and will I guide and be a part of this wine’s entire life?” Only with this respect can a winemaker impart soul to a wine. Soul that reflects growing season, heritage, legacy, and relentless evolution.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/9864\/7939\/files\/WINERY_1_5454f12a-b8fa-4c8d-8c3a-dc9bf8cd8079_480x480.jpg?v=1611533086\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/9864\/7939\/collections\/WINERY_2.jpg?v=1611533092","url":"https:\/\/cultwine.com\/fr\/collections\/leonetti-cali-merlot.oembed","provider":"CultWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
