Fruit for our Truly Rita Pinot Noir comes from the well-respected Dierberg – Drum Canyon site. This vineyard is on a steep slope facing the Pacific Ocean and is influenced by the cool ocean breezes every day. Our blocks are planted to three selections: Swan, Calera, and Dijon 115. The well-drained and calcium-rich soils, combined with the cool climate produces a wine that is very graceful but with powerful underlying texture.

Hand harvested at night. Clusters and individual berries are hand sorted before fermentation in small open top fermentors. Native primary and ML. 14-21 day fermentation with daily punchdowns. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
