Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

In 2019, this cool, windswept mountain vineyard produced a beautifully bright and elegant Pinot Noir with lavish aromas of raspberry, ripe cherry, cola and hints of forest floor. On the palate, it strikes a seamless balance between acid and tannin, framing the lush raspberry and blackberry flavors as they glide to a long, vibrant finish.

Production

After a cool, wet start to the season, summer brought near-perfect weather While a cool, wet winter and spring on the Santa Cruz Mountains led to a late budbreak, moderate summer temperatures with no late-season heat events ensured that the fruit enjoyed abundant hangtime. Harvest began in late September and continued throughout October, resulting in elegant and age-worthy whites with lovely underlying power, and graceful and dynamic reds with complex layers of bright fruit and savory spice.
