PLACE

The fruit for this wine is grown in some of the finest regions within the diverse North Coast appellation. A large portion of this incredibly soughtafter fruit comes from the Beckstoffer Vineyard in the Carneros Napa region. Additional fruit comes from the Pauli Ranch in southern Mendocino County and from the highly respected Sangiacomo Vineyard located in the Petaluma Gap AVA.

WINEMAKING

The 2018 vintage was aged exclusively in French oak for 12 months with 30% of the blend in new French oak barrels while the remaining portion of the blend is in seasoned, one to two-year-old barrels.

STYLE

This Pinot Noir is a true, ruby red in the glass with vibrant aromas of strawberry, cranberry, rose petal, and brewed black tea. The palate is fresh with loads of red fruit, mushroom, soy and pomegranate flavors. The wine is distinctively coastal in style with cooler climate characteristics including complex flavors of forest floor and spice and with bright acidity that heighten the texture and length.
