Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is curated from our Estate
vineyards throughout the Russian River Valley appellation. This
wine mirrors the special distinctions that this viticultural area
has on a wine due to the climate, proximity to the ocean and soil
profile, in combination with our family’s trademark farming
style and dedication to crafting the highest quality wines true to
where they are grown.
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 season was overall very cool with record rainfall for
Sonoma County in February. The vines however were not
affected by this because they were still dormant at the time.
Similar to the 2018 season, spring and summer were moderate
in temperature and ripening developed gradually and under
minimal stress. This year was in fact so similar to 2018 that we
began harvest the same day, on September 10th. Unfortunately,
another wildfire hit the region at the end of October, but luckily
none of our vineyards were affected. The winery and many
employees were evacuated, but we were able to keep an eye on
the new vintage with a skeleton crew. The quality was not
impacted, and we are very excited at the concentration of flavors
in this vintage.
