The Social Web Wine Word of the Week: Alluvial soil

The soils of the Stones Speak Estate Vineyard consist of very deep, excessively drained soils formed in basaltic alluvium mixed with loess at the surface. These soils contain a large fraction of basalt cobbles and unique geochemical signature, resulting in wines which are savory, displaying distinctive aromatic and textural characteristics.

Mentions: Tommy Bigelow, JM Cellars, Andrew Januik, Mike Januik, Charlie Hoppes, Three Rivers Winery, Rivaura, Ethan Lillis, Andrew Gerow, Tirriddis, Gary Vaynerchuck, Luke Marquis, Molly Dooker, Jon and Dan, Foolhardy.
