-
WINEMAKER: Megan Glaab
-
FARMING: Sustainable
-
VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
-
TERROIR: Signal Ridge Vineyard in Anderson Valley is known for its cool, foggy climate, which is ideal for Pinot Noir. The region benefits from long, slow ripening periods, allowing for the development of complex flavors while retaining high acidity. Soils in the area are well-drained and diverse, with a mix of alluvial and sedimentary origins that contribute to the wine's finesse and structure.
-
VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand-harvested and gently de-stemmed before undergoing fermentation with native yeasts. A combination of whole-cluster and de-stemmed fruit is used to enhance complexity. Fermentation takes place in small, open-top fermenters, with gentle punching down to extract color and flavor.
-
AGING: The wine is aged for 10-12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new, to add a subtle layer of spice and texture without overpowering the purity of the fruit.
-
TASTING NOTES: This Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and hints of baking spice. On the palate, it reveals flavors of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine has a silky texture, balanced acidity, and a long, smooth finish with fine tannins.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with roasted chicken, seared tuna, or a wild mushroom risotto.
