Wine Enthusiast, Tom Capo
"Redolent of cinnamon, Bing cherry and sarsaparilla on the nose, this Pinot gains depth, purity and focus as it hits the palate. Flavors of dried raspberries, fried shiitake mushrooms, fresh mint and pithy tangerine peel along a seamless and vibrant finish."
93 Points | Owen Bargreen
"...The wine is smooth with a seamless mouthfeel and beautiful salty character with pretty red rose water and bright, saline drenched red fruits on the palate."

Strong Winds
Help develop fruit of vibrant, balanced acidity.

Sonoma Coast Appellation
Heavy fog and strong winds tempered by bright afternoon sunshine

The Soil
Cotati Fine Loam, and Loam soil with rock.

The 2022 is packed with cherry, plum, and mulberry flavors, accented with notes of warm spice and rose. The plush weight and lovely, forward fruit are complimented by cool-climate acidity and a light touch of oak barrel.

This blend is predominately from our Bob’s Ranch Estate, with Gap’s Crown and Calesa vineyards completing the blend which features both Dijon and heritage clones. The resulting combination of diverse vineyard sites and clonal variation creates a complex wine with abundant fruit, making it a delicious Sonoma Coast blend.

Vintage NotesThe 2022 vintage wines are immediately appealing, showing fruit-forward aromatics, breadth, and sophistication. Even in the third year of drought, good vine growth was a pleasant surprise. Heavy rains started at the end of November, continued into early December, dried down, and arrived again near bud break, resaturating the soils. Frost in March contributed to a lighter crop. By July the season was tracking on the warmish side indicating an earlier harvest. Temperate weather was interrupted by a big heat wave in early September, which propelled earlier ripening sites into a fast-paced harvest window.
