BXT wines are inspired by grower-Champagnes, seeking singular sites and artisinal hand-crafted methods to make distinct and delicious sprakling wines. Winemaker Tom Sherwood is exploring several different vineyard sites across Northern California and making tiny batches of entirely hand-riddled wines. The McCormack Ranch Blanc De Noirs is 100% Pinot Noir from a vineyard right on the banks of the Sacramento River in deep sandy soils. The wine is fermented with native yeast in neutral oak, large Puncheons and Stockinger casks are favorites of Tom’s for the 6-9 months of elevage before secondary fermentation. The wine then sees 18+ months on the lees before being riddled by hand. Less than 50cs produced.
