Vineyard Character
We named this Pinot Noir in respect for the dance performed by the Pacific fog, drifting through the vineyard and back again to the sea each day. This wine reflects its cool Green Valley terroir, showing the brightness and purity of cherry and cranberry flavors along with an elegant and refined texture.
