Wine Origin

The grapes for this Pinot Noir came exclusively from Manzana Vineyard, which is farmed by the renowned Dutton Family. The Duttons have been growing grapes in Sonoma County—specifically the Russian River Valley—for generations. Because they are known for their meticulous farming and consistent quality vintage after vintage, their fruit is highly prized. Manzana is located in Green Valley, a sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley known for its cool temperatures. For Pinot Noir, this unique climate results in deeper colors and intense aromatics. The best barrels from Manzana Vineyard were used to make this wine, with each specifically selected for its unique and ideal traits.
Production Notes

The 2017 vintage followed a cool wet winter. The soils were wet and rich, which required extra meticulous care with cover crop management and canopy management. There was a heat spike at the end of August that warmed everything up. With no threat of rain in sight, we hand-harvested the grapes exactly when we wanted to in the cool evening hours of September 10th, 2017.
Winemaker Notes

The fruit was gently destemmed into small open-top fermenters, using state-of-the-art equipment and procedures to avoid any pumping of the must. Inoculation with select yeast strains followed a three-day cold soak, and the caps were managed with a combination of pump-overs and punch-downs. After 10 months of ageing in exclusively French oak barrels, 50% of which w193,561.38ere new, we bottled on July 31st, 2018.
