Kenneth and Laura Juhasz founded Auteur with a singular vision: craft cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that speak unmistakably of place. More than two decades later, they've become one of the Sonoma Coast's most respected producers, earning a devoted following by letting the vineyards take center stage. Their Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir serves as the front door to the portfolio, blending fruit from exceptional coastal sites into a wine that captures the elegance, freshness, and energy that define the appellation. Auteur has spent years earning access to some of the region's most coveted vineyard sources, resulting in a thoughtful expression of the Sonoma Coast as a whole. Rather than spotlighting a single vineyard, the 2023 draws together multiple cool-climate sites, each contributing its own layer of vibrant fruit, savory nuance, and remarkable balance. That same restraint carries into the cellar. Native fermentations, patient élevage in French oak, and a gentle touch preserve the purity and character of the fruit from start to finish. The result is a Pinot Noir that's polished without sacrificing freshness, delivering everything that has made Auteur a favorite and at a price that's too good to ignore.
