Pinot Noir
From the cool-climate charm of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir to our sought-after single-vineyard bottlings from the Russian River Valley, Carneros, Mendocino and the Santa Lucia Highlands, our Pinot Noir program captures the vibrant diversity of this exceptional varietal. In the winery, we craft wines that balance the depth, power and purity of Pinot Noir with elegance, structure and finesse.
- Sonoma Coast
2022 SONOMA COAST ROSÉ OF PINOT NOIR
This Rosé of 100% Pinot Noir shows a copper-pink color with aromas of strawberry, spicy Carnation blossom, citrus essence, and yeasty notes from six months of sur lie aging. The palate is crisp and elegant, with mineral infused acidity that is focused to a bone-dry finish. - Santa Lucia Highlands
2019 Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
This wine is supple and dense, with layers of red and blue fruits and clove spice. The tannins are broad, mouth-coating and resolved, creating a rich and creamy mid-palate with a long and detailed finish that keeps the flavors pumping. - Carneros
2019 Moses-Hall Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir
The Moses-Hall vineyard is in one of the coolest areas of Carneros, close to San Pablo Bay. The constant winds keep it cool, and the well-draining gravelly soils stress the vines and concentrate the flavors. Those aromas and flavors are on full display with soft red fruit notes and an earthy-savory counterpoint. - Sonoma Coast
2019 Jenkins Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
The 2019 delivers black cherry, cranberry, dried carnation flower, Mexican chocolate-cinnamon, tamari/soy sauce, and dried orange peel, along with a hint of salty, ocean air. The tannins are rich, creamy and densely layered with an opulent and fleshy mid-palate that extends through a full and flavorful finish. Though exceptionally rich and full, this 2019 is tempered with enough mouthwatering acidity to keep the marvelously complex flavors cleansing and refreshing. 2019 is a scintillating version of Jenkins Ranch Pinot Noir. - Russian River Valley
2018 Sanchietti Vineyard Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Rich and inviting, this wine’s aromas open with black cherry, strawberry, black pepper and dark chocolate. Notes of blackberry and plum weave on the palate and meld with hints of fennel and something evocative of salty ocean spray. The wine is deep, dense and full-bodied. - Carneros
2018 Moses-Hall Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir
Year after year, this lovingly cultivated vineyard continues to evolve, yielding evermore complex wines. This site produces wines with a rare combination of savory and fruity aromas and flavors, a trait often associated with the finest Pinot Noirs. 2018 is showing more red fruits, such as cherry and cranberry alongside the typically, earthy/savory profile of Moses-Hall. The palate is juicy, and fresh with excellent, fine grained tannins that fan out and build richness to a very long and persistent finish. - Russian River Valley
2018 Little Boot Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
This young vineyard, planted in 2012, is improving every year as it enters “adolescence.” The 2018 shows intense and energetic aromas of dried cherry, crushed mint and carnation flower. Taut, nervy and mouthwatering, the fine-grained textures expand across the palate, gaining depth and persistence as the refreshing acidity brings the finish to a juicy resolution. This wine has an astonishing ability to be fruity, savory, very full flavored, yet light and ethereal.
