SONOMA PINOT NOIR VINEYARDS
Sonoma Coast
In a true case of "spoils of riches", our Pinot Noir program sources from Pfendler, Five Wells, Silver Eagle, Moevani, and Nines Vineyards. Consistent marine influence defines the beauty of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. A combination of marine layer influence and abundant sunshine warms the fruit where ripening happens slowly and flavors develop ahead of sugars.
Wines Produced:
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Silver Eagle Pinot Noir

Sta. Rita Hills
