Vineyard & winemaking Notes
The depth and flavor present in our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is indicative of the long growing season for which this viticultural area is famous. The fruit from this vintage was sourced from vineyards in the three microclimates of this vast appellation. The grapes from areas above the fog line deliver rich, concentrated fruit character, while those sourced from the cooler regions of the Sonoma Coast provide aromas of spice and earth with classic Burgundian elegance. This fruit was night harvested by hand. The fruit came into the winery in exceptional condition and was hand sorted, de-stemmed, and transferred to small one-ton vessels. Gentle extraction occurred before fermentation began. After primary fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for 17 months of aging. This fruit was night harvested by hand.

Tasting Notes
The lovely garnet coloring is complimented by intense aromas of warm earth, and
black cherry. The palate is richly textured and dense with dark berry fruits. There is a
wonderful balance of bright fruit and fine tannins, ensuring a long life ahead for this
Estate Pinot Noir. The long length ends with complex notes of orange peel and spice.
Enjoy this wine now through 2024.
