Crafted from pristine Pinot Noir grapes harvested at Verdad Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard, this wine epitomizes perfection. Forty percent of the grapes underwent whole cluster fermentation in open-top fermenters, receiving gentle punch-downs twice daily. Following fermentation, the wine matured for 18 months in a blend of new, one-year-old, and two-year-old Francois Fréres barrels. Delicate aromas of tart cherry allure the senses, complemented by savory notes of tea, herbs, and spice, with subtle hints of autumn leaves. A pure expression of the varietal, this Pinot Noir exhibits complexity and depth, making it a truly exquisite wine.

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
