Tasting Notes: This is like aromatic target practice if that's a thing. Besides being juicy with good texture at the roof of the mouth, aromatics and flavors are all over the board. Loquat, white peach, apricot, and blood orange are a few. But wait. There's more! Lemon grass, d'anjou pear, markut lime.... Like I said, "aromatic target practice."
Story: “ES Okay” The fun naming idea came from a casual conversation about how winemaker/owner Mike Lucia uses “it’s okay” constantly. It then tuned into Es Okay, with humorous label and fun lines.

We would consider all wine to be "Natural". The term "Natural Wine" has the connotation of lacking a touch with nature. The winegrowers we champion are those who are farmers first. They seek to capture the uniqueness of the site (terroir) in the purest way possible. The product is as pure as possible and without wine-making flaws (brettanomyces, mercaptans, volatile acidity, etc.
Raw, in this case, we define as realistic and not manipulated. The winemakers use the least amount of intervention as possible. Wine should be made in the vineyard, not the cellar. The winemaker's job is to get the wine into the bottle in the purest form possible. There are additives that go into making wine, some are essential and some are not. Wines in this category do not have extra additives. They are free of added sulfur, or have the most minimal amounts possible in order to provide shelf stability for the consumer to experience the wine as the winemaker intended it to be.
