Pinot Noir Duo

2022 Pinot Noir, Spire

The ultimate expression of our higher elevation Pinot Noir, this wine is a limited barrel selection, crafted from the grapes sourced atop the upper reaches of each vineyard block. Here, the unique marriage of terroir and microclimate nurtures exceptional fruit concentration. The wine reveals layers of dense black cherry and blueberry, accented with hints of sage and wild fennel. On the palate, vibrant notes of raspberry and pomegranate shine through, accented by the wine’s velvety texture and seamlessly integrated tannins, culminating in a lingering, satisfying finish.

2022 Pinot Noir, Sun Chase Vineyard

Part of what gives Sun Chase its uniquely special character is the vineyard’s exposure to intense high-elevation sunlight, well-draining rocky soils, and the brisk maritime winds cascading through the Petaluma Gap to the Pacific Ocean. This distinctive environment shapes the grapes, resulting in a wine with exceptionally concentrated flavors. The resulting wine offers a lively combination of bright, high-acid fruit, with shimmering notes of raspberry and wild cherry. Subtle undertones of savory blackberry and quince add depth, enhanced by the influence of the mountain sun.
