What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

A real family owned winery, founded in 1982 they didnt event have a tasting room until 2007!

Made from 11 year old vines, this is the only organic winery in the appellation. The grapes come from 12 clones across 8 rootstocks giving them a lot of diversity. Its grown on poor soil, with dense plantings.

Rich powerful nose of cherry and leather, very fruity in the nose. A very powerful wine, firm tannins, still young and tight, but with a lot of potential. Very mineral, very acidic.
