Awards94 Pts, Wine Advocate, 2022Randall Grahm is a legend of California winemaking, renowned for his trailblazing work with Rhône Varieties in the Central Coast. The Language of Yes is his latest project, an attempt to capture the essence of Old World wines through the uniqueness of the vineyards and the (mostly) sunny disposition of California. The Language of Yes or La Langue dOc, is the term that the medieval people of Southern France used to describe who they were by how they spoke. The aim is to craft wines preserving the old ways, revealing the utmost respect for the integrity of the sites form which they derive. The raising of the wine involves the lightest possible touch, allowing the natural exuberance of the vines, the grapes, the wine and the winemaker to joyously emerge, unmistakably pronouncing The Language of Yes.
