Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

This windswept mountain vineyard produced a beautifully bright and elegant Pinot Noir in 2021, with inviting aromas of wild strawberry, cherry, sweet plum and fresh-cracked black pepper. On the palate there is a lovely balance between acid and tannin that frames the lush berry flavors, with hints of sweet and savory spice emerging throughout a long, graceful finish.

Production

The 2021 growing season in the Santa Cruz Mountains began with below-average winter rainfall followed by moderate spring temperatures that led to a typically timed budbreak. The temperate weather continued into summer, which provided extra hangtime for the grapes. The resulting wines offer beautiful depth and concentration, with dynamic acidity and pure, focused flavors.
