Drawn from revered vineyards, including Rochioli Riverblock, Martaella, and the estate’s treasured parcels, it embodies the soul of Sonoma’s most celebrated terroirs in a singular, transcendent expression.

Early handshake deals with growers forged a legacy built on trust, integrity, and an uncompromising standard of excellence that redefined American Pinot Noir. This wine shines with remarkable clarity from the exceptional 2023 vintage—a year hailed as a modern pinnacle. Its finely etched layers, vibrant tension, and site-specific character reflect an ideal growing season and a heritage rooted in passion, precision, and place.

The flavors show remarkable synergy while showcasing the unique characteristics of each vineyard source. Dried lavender and rose potpourri aromas of the Williams Selyem Estate blend harmoniously with fresh herbal tarragon notes from Rochioli Riverblock. Rounding out the nose are red fruit and citrus rind scents from Drake Estate and Laguna Ranch. The components from Martaella and Olivet Lane Vineyards carry the palate, giving it both acidic freshness and substantial tannins. We hope you enjoy this blend as an introduction to our portfolio of Pinot Noirs. It is a wine that can be shared and enjoyed on any occasion. – Jessica Gilmore, Associate Winemaker"
