Production Notes

Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

Originally planted in 1971, this cool, marine-influenced vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA produced a beautifully structured Pinot Noir with alluring aromas of juicy blackberry, cherry, and savory sandalwood. On the palate, silky tannins and hints of spice add depth and nuance to flowing layers of cherry, black raspberry, and roasted coffee beans as they build to a long, resonant finish.

Production

The 2021 growing season began with below-average winter rainfall followed by moderate spring temperatures, with budbreak occurring at varied times throughout the Central Coast. The temperate weather continued into early summer, which ensured abundant hangtime and one of the latest Central Coast harvests on record. The resulting wines show pin-point balance with lovely aromas, excellent energy and acidity, and pure sophisticated flavors.
