This luminous ruby Pinot Noir comes from the famed Fiddlestix Vineyard in the heart of Sta. Rita Hills, where coastal fog, ocean breezes, and marine soils shape Pinot Noir of exceptional character.
We hand-harvested and fully destemmed the fruit, then fermented it in open-top tanks with gentle daily punchdowns. After fermentation, the wine aged 18 months in French oak barrels, half of them new.
Aromatic and expressive, the nose layers cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, and coastal sage over black tea and subtle spice. The palate is bright and textured—cranberry, pomegranate, and clove carried by fresh acidity and fine tannins, finishing long and mineral-driven.
