2018 Pinot Noir
The amazing Sun Chase Vineyard is located where the Petaluma Wind Gap meets Sonoma Mountain, this 40-acre sustainably farmed site is perched at 1,200 to 1,400 feet elevation on a southwestern facing hillside above the fog line. A powerful wine loaded with beautiful nuance and character, full of loads of wild dark berries, Bing cherries, violets, strawberry and sweet spices. It shows power and elegance along the mid palate, with bright acidity and a long, velvety finish. We have to believe that this will be your “go-to” Pinot Noir after just one glass.

Other Notes
The grapes were 60% destemmed while 40% were left as whole bunches and spent 20 days on the skins and punched down 2 times per day. The wine was aged 9 months in 100% French Oak (32% New) including a Rosseau 500 Liter Puncheon to give the wine added depth and texture.

I’ve had many Pinots. This beauty compares to its contemporaries. Balanced fruit and great fullness!
