Stanly Ranch is the easternmost vineyard in the Los Carneros appellation. Originally planted with Pinot Noir in the 1870s, the vineyard borders the wetlands of the Napa River/San Pablo Bay watershed. Proximity to the cool foggy marine climate of the bay imparts spicy aromatics in the wine, while the clay and clay loam soils contribute an earthy complexity to the red fruit flavors.

Ideal growing conditions in 2018 inspired well-defined cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors. Rich and deeply flavored this is a Pinot Noir that will continue to develop additional complexities in the years to come.
