100% Pinot Noir
This wine is a blend of the best twelve barrels of individual Pinot Noir clone lots from two exceptional Santa Rita Hills Vineyards. 50% is from Zotovich Vineyard (clones 113 and 114), grown in white sandy soil, close to the ocean, developing bright almost perfume-like Pinot Noir flavors. The other 50% is from the hillside Sebastiano Vineyard (“Swan” clone) providing rich structure and concentrated flavors. Intense spicy black cherry aromas pair well with duck, quail, salmon, and baked mushroom dishes.
