Maybe it’s just me but I can’t help thinking that when you’re given a name like Clay Shannon you have a certain responsibility to take on the mantle of a western hero and line up alongside Doc Holliday and co at the OK Corral. But that wasn’t really an option for Clay so instead, he holstered his pistols and went into battle for the planet, setting up a regenerative organic vineyard in Lake County, north California back in 1996. His property now extends to 2,000 acres up in the mountains, 1,000 of which is left untouched as a wildlife wilderness whilst the rest is one of the country’s largest regenerative farming systems. I’m sure Doc and the boys would be proud There’s ripe orchard fruit, a little cream, a touch of vanilla and a bright, citrus-edged finish that keeps everything honest.
