Located off Trenton Road north of River Road and adjacent to the Laguna de Santa Rosa. This area provides an excellent medium for the coastal fog that blankets our fruit in the mornings and evenings. The cooling moisture facilitates a longer growing season in which Pinot Noir thrives.
We use old-world techniques, whole berries, and whole clusters to make our Pinot Noir in small batches that we “punch down” up to three times a day. After native yeast fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels. This vintage 2020, single vineyard selection from the Stegman Ranch, was created from a hand-picked selection of 12 barrels and was aged 9 months on 40% new French oak.
Displays a deep burgundy color while offering aromas of fresh truffle and dried strawberry. The balanced palate features depth and ripe fruit, highlighted by candied black cherry and dried tobacco. The finish is subtle, bringing to life nuanced notes of currant, rhubarb, and chocolate.
