Wine Profile

Production Notes

Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir; M> is from a selection of our finest lots from the 2022 vintage. We narrowed down the lots through rigorous tastings and then went through each lot to hand select the new and neutral French Oak barrels, choosing only the oak that lifted the fruit and let the wines shine. We racked the wines from barrel and blended after 10 months to create a harmonious and integrated blend, then went back to the same barrels for another 5 months of aging.

Winemaker Notes

The pinnacle Migration M> Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir entices with its rich and perfectly balanced profile, bursting from the glass with aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry, forest floor, violet, and wood spice. Upon first taste, it presents a silky, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel adorned with delicious fruit and spice notes that harmonize beautifully. The finish is elegant and enduring, creating a memorable tasting experience that showcases the distinctive characteristics of the Sonoma Coast.

Production

While the 2022 growing season in the Sonoma Coast was compact and eventful, it produced wines with lush, refined tannins, opulent layers of fruit and lively natural acidity. Thanks to warm summer temperatures, we began harvesting our warmest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard at ideal ripeness in mid-August. The arrival of a significant heat event near Labor Day gave the remaining vineyards a final push to ripeness and we concluded harvest in mid-September. Overall, the quality was spectacular. The Chardonnays have beautiful citrus and tropical aromas and lush, concentrated flavors, with the Pinot Noirs offering supple, refined tannin and luxurious layers of dark berry fruit.
