Sourced from the Coast Grade Vineyard, this Pinot Noir blends clones 828, 115, 667, and Pommard, planted atop a limestone slab with sandy topsoil. With yields of only 1 to 1.5 tons per acre, the vineyard produces a wine with earthy complexity and deep concentration, setting it apart from typical California Pinot Noirs.
The wine bursts with pomegranate and blood orange, complemented by Mediterranean herbs and a hint of cocoa. Subtle oak nuances carry through to a well-balanced, fragrant finish. Completing the Partner’s Series, this Pinot Noir is a true reflection of the craftsmanship and distinct terroir shared by Jon Morgan, Peter, and Paul Bargetto.
