Signature Pinot Noir is a vineyard-driven wine sourced from one of the most cherished micro-regions in the Russian River Valley. Largely comprised of Goldridge soil, a fine-grained, sandy loam formed from the erosion of ancient marine sediments, the gently sloping vineyards we farm also benefit from southeastern sun exposure and cooler climates with ample fog coverage due to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean. All these elements combine to develop multi-layered wines with compelling structure, freshness, and flavor.
As it unfolds, delicate notes of dried lavender and thyme give way to sandalwood, forest floor, and a subtle earthy minerality. The palate is fruit-forward and sumptuous, framed by a broad, layered midpalate with refreshing acidity, and polished tannins. Indulgent yet refined, it carries both richness and precision through a long, graceful finish.
