Extremely vibrant and wild aromas of crisp plums, chaparral and cracked pepper. Shows a briny, ethereal quality in the glass from miniaturized grape clusters conditioned by their climate. From the southwest-facing hillside that delineates the windward edge of the domaine, seven miles from the Pacific Ocean in Sta. Rita Hills. Clay top soils with heritage selections of Pinot Noir: Calera, Swan, and Mount Eden planted in alternating rows. Shows fruit and strength backed by aromatic lift, firm tannins and prodigious ageability.
