Ratings

Vineyard Notes

An elegant and well-balanced blend of fruit from four of the best cool-climate Pinot Noir growing regions in the North Coast: Anderson Valley, Mendocino Ridge, Sonoma Coast, and Green Valley of Russian River Valley. Each location lends a subtle layering and complexity to the finished wine.

Production Notes

Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged 11 months in French oak barrels.

Winemaker Notes

Winter provided a record-breaking rainfall - a welcome end to the 4-years of drought. Bloom and fruit set in May occurred under ideal conditions. Summer was warm but the vines weathered the heat well and maturity moved along at a steady pace. The 2017 wine quality shows a lot of bright acidity and fresh varietal aromas in the white wines, and deep color, sweet fruit flavors. Looking like it will be another classic year! - Brooks Painter, Director of Winemaking

Food Pairing Notes

Pair this versatile wine with stuffed mushrooms, chicken marsala, or duck confit.
