Pinot Noir
Grown in the California Alpine vineyards of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA at 1,200 to 1,490 feet, these vines sit above the fog line, where sunny days and cool nights drive slow ripening, high acidity, and big aromatics.
California heritage selections, including Calera and Swan, deliver a vibrant, lifted, and nervy throwback Pinot Noir. It is grown organically and biodynamically, fermented natively with no additives or adjustments, aged in older French oak, and bottled unfiltered.
Dark cherry, raspberry vine, violet, Santa Rosa plum, warm spices, and wild mint.
Mountain concentration meets coastal freshness.
