Scholium Project
One of the most notable brands of the last few years, The Scholium Project, made by Abe Schoener, pushes the envelope of expectation in wines. Schoener partners with small growers with eccentric terroirs throughout California's Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Schoener, who completed his graduate work in Ancient Greek Philosophy, concentrated on Homer: his label's name translates to "school, schooling" from Greek, and signifies an undertaking for the sake of learning, paralleling his winemaking journey. Schoener took a sabbatical from teaching in 1998 to work as an intern at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in Napa Valley before moving on to work in the cellars of Luna. He then began the Scholium Project in 2004, entitling wines using proprietary names rather than varietals. In the cellar, Abe allows his wines to take their own natural course by leaving them undisturbed in the barrel. The barrels are not sulfured or topped off - instead he allows the fermentation to develop a ripeness particular to wine, not fruit. Scholium Project wines are extremely limited in production.
