Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Located high on the northwest flank of Sonoma Mountain, this panoramic mountainside site is the recipient of coastal fog and cool air flowing from the chilly Pacific through the Petaluma Gap and slamming directly into the upper reaches of Sonoma Mountain. This site ripens very slowly, providing perfect conditions for complete and complex flavor development. 

The 2018 shows a tantalizing & unique bouquet of black cherry, shaved porcini, redwood bark, black pepper, plum, slate, pink rose petals, blackberry zing; all with a briar note. The volcanic soil and whole cluster really shine through on this dark, deep, brooding and rich
Pinot Noir! The texture is unctuous; taut and lush all at once. On the palate it’s lively with accents of cedar, fresh tobacco and chicory. This wine is beautifully integrated with bright acidity and a lingering pepper finish.
