This 58-acre property in the heart of the Russian River Valley is planted to 42 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyard sits atop a knoll, where the climate is influenced primarily by cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean a few miles to the west.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS: "Alluring aromas give a perfumed essence of Pinot Noir in this wonderfully complex wine. Red fruits mix with fennel frond and Earl Grey tea, beautifully counterpointed with wood spices. Further aeration brings notes of mulberry and blue fruit. Located in the Russian River Valley’s Santa Rosa Plain, the vineyard is planted to a higher density and competition between plants results in elegance and refinement on the nose and palate. The entry of the wine is rich and appealing, as red fruit flavors combine with citrus, transitioning to polished tannins and a tea-like finish."
