(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Norman Beko

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Loren Tayerle
The backbone of this blend comes from one of our favorite vineyards in the Russian River Valley located between Sebastopol and Forestville on gently sloping hills. In 2006, we added one other vineyard, from west of Sebastopol, planted 8 years ago with clones 777 and Cruz. The multiple sun exposures and the diverse clonal selection of our vineyards enables us to be flexible with our picking dates for an optimum maturity of our different blocks. The wine’s aroma is ripe and vibrant, showing plum...

This vibrant wine comes from 115 and 777 clone vines in the sustainably farmed Stoller Vineyard located in the Dundee Hills AVA of the Willamette Valley. The volcanic red clay and loam soil of this specific site is very appropriate for Pinot Noir. The restrained Burgundy winemaking techniques used for this younger vine Pinot Noir enhance the richness and complexity of what is inherently an elegant and pretty wine.

Winemaker: Joe Webb
The fruit for our Pinot Noir was hand-harvested from our estate vineyard, carefully tended by our family throughout the year. We are always on-site for harvest, helping to pick and sort in the field, as well as ensure that the fruit arrives at the winery cool and clean. The wine was 100 percent destemmed and fermented with wild yeast. Punchdowns were done by hand and malolactic fermentation was completely wild as well. No racking was done while the wine was aged in about 33 percent new F...

Winemaker: Brandon Brassfield
We have just released the 2007 vintage and are excited about it and its future. Previewed by the Brix Chicks (www.brixchicks.com) earlier this summer, they wrote that "this Pinot is the darker, more concentrated, voluptuous style of California Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry liqueur and cocoa. The palate tastes of dark red fruits and cinnamon spice. There is a lovely note of espresso on the finish.
