Vineyard Notes
Wilson Vineyard is located in a hot, narrow valley nestled against a river known as the Sacramento Delta. At night the breezes flow down the river, cooling the vines offering the ideal conditions to grow this typically cool climate grape variety.
Winemaker Notes
This Pinot Noir is derived from the Pommard clone, a clone our winemakers worked with early in their careers in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 40% neutral French and 60% new French oak.
