Origin & Craftsmanship:
Sourced from the esteemed Hummingbird Hill Vineyard, nestled on a steep, west-facing volcanic hillside within Sonoma Coast AVA, this 2021 Pinot Noir embodies the essence of California’s cool-climate winemaking. Meticulously hand-harvested and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this unfined and unfiltered wine showcases the purity of its terroir while preserving its vibrant character.

Award-Winning Excellence:
Celebrated with a Gold Medal and 92 Points at the 2024 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, critics praise its “fresh, vibrant” profile bursting with blueberry and strawberry notes. Additionally, it earned Triple Gold and Best of Class honors at Dan Berger’s International Wine Competition, lauded for its “very good nose, balanced structure, and classic elegance.”

Sustainable & Artisanal Approach:
The vineyard embraces eco-conscious practices, leveraging natural predators like barn owls and kestrels to maintain ecological balance. This commitment to sustainability enhances the wine’s authenticity, ensuring every sip reflects the harmony of nature and craftsmanship.

Tasting Experience:
Expect a symphony of bright red fruit flavors, layered with subtle earthy undertones and a silky finish. The 14% ABV offers a harmonious balance, making it ideal for pairing with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or enjoying on its own as a reflection of Sonoma’s terroir.
