Pinot Noir

We craft our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir by sourcing from mature hillside vineyard lots that lend to a rich, voluptuous core. Aromas of dark cherry, and red stone fruit are reflected on the palate, further complemented by fine tannins. French oak reveal subtle spice notes that lead to a long finish.

Sonoma Coast

The Sonoma Coast appellation, spanning the Northern California coastline, is renowned for its marine influence and Burgundian-style terroir. Mild days and cooling breezes from the Pacific Coast offer ideal growing conditions for elegant Pinot Noir wines. Sourced from mature hillside vineyard lots that lend to a rich, voluptuous core.

Winemaking

The grapes for this Pinot Noir were hand picked in October. After destemming, the grapes were whole-berry fermented in open-top fermenters, which were punched down manually to provide maximum flavor and minimum harsh tannins. Following fermentation, the wine was transferred to a mix of new and matured small French oak barrels for eight months. Prior to bottling, the wine received minimal filtration and fining to preserve the fresh berry flavors.
