One Stone is a specialty Pinot Noir offering from the Ancient Peaks family made from grapes out of select coastal vineyards in California's San Luis Obispo County. The pronounced marine conditions produce a delectable Pinot Noir (something the region is famed for!), filled with fruit flavors and light spices, that is ideal for holiday tables and gatherings-- we thought it perfect for November!
Another aspect we like is that a portion of each bottle sold supports Dream Big Darling, a nonprofit that provides mentorship programs for the next generation of women leaders in the wine and spirits industry. Over the calendar year of 2025, One Stone generated a $50,000 donation to Dream Big Darling (more info at DreamBigDarling.org).
And One Stone really hit it out of the stratosphere with this one-- I guess if you are supporting big dreams, you might as well craft a wine that will match that goal-- and they suceeded in a big way!
The nose is filled with red fruits and berries, cherry and strawberry scents intermingling harmoniously with touches of light florals, rose petal, spice and garden loam. The palate reiterates the nose, with ripe cherries and berries (red and blue) in the foreground as secondary nuances of spice, wood and a touch of mineral add support. The body is up for the task-- the grippy tannins (for a Pinot!) and acidity keep the fruits aloft but not over the top-- this wine sings and is all about fruit, body and balance. Enjoy with the holiday table (turkey, salmon, seafood pasta) but also with richer fare (chops, red meat, burgers) as the body is up for the task and the flavors will soar.
