Wine

Steep, raw and powerful, this hillside monopole vineyard sits mere miles from the cool Pacific Ocean, facing Bodega Bay in between the villages of Freestone and Occidental, where morning fog from the coast engulfs the vineyard. This 1.8-acre site is the oldest meter-by-meter planting of pinot noir on the Sonoma Coast, and due to its high density and steep slope, is farmed 100% by hand. This site presents our coolest and most exotic terroir. 

Sun-warmed rose petals, wild strawberries, black cherries, and a rainy forest floor fill the bowl. This is followed by notes of muddled blackberry, thyme, pine branches and forni brown mushrooms transporting us to the Redwood forest that surrounds this site. On the palate, there is a beautiful ballet between red berries and dark fruit that is seamlessly intertwined with exotic spice box, zesty orange pith and crushed gravel, giving way to a seemingly everlasting finish.

From the rugged and remote pockets of Fort Ross-Seaview, this 4.8-acre monopole vineyard represents our most elegant terroir. Vines sit atop an ancient sea bed, dating back 200 million years, soaring high above the sea at more than 1,000 feet in elevation. Mere miles from the sea, this is our highest elevation and most coastal site.

Delicate white rose petals, orange peel and crushed pomegranate are followed by freshly picked raspberries, wild strawberries, and white tea. Coastal wet rock, sea moss, ripe red berries and a kiss of salinity transport us to the sea that sits just beyond Sea Field. Floral and violet notes follow, with lingering hints of crushed wild strawberries, offering an incredibly long and vibrant finish.​

Our Royal St. Robert bottling is dedicated to our grandfather Robert, who has been our greatest teacher in our journey in wine. This special cuvée is a selection from our coastal vineyards, giving a window into the rugged hills of the westerly Sonoma Coast. Captivating aromas of crushed blackberries, just-ripe plum and sour black cherries fill the bowl.

Floral notes of fresh roses and black tea with bergamot follow, giving way to wet gravel and warm, sun-dried forest floor. The powerful red and black fruit core is delicately interlaced with these floral tea notes and it couples with exotic spice box, which seamlessly comes together in a persistently long, bright and youthful finish.​

This hillside site in rugged Fort Ross-Seaview sits at 1,200 feet in elevation, only a couple of miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and just up the road from Sea Field. The vines, planted over 40 years ago, represent some of the oldest plantings of chardonnay on the coast. Sitting atop well-drained, rocky soils, the yields are naturally low, giving wines of incredible depth, concentration and minerality.

Aromas of fresh white and yellow flowers jump from the glass, followed by white nectarine, crunchy apricot and cool elderflower. Lime blossom and lemon zest are followed by just-ripe yellow peaches. Crushed seashells, wet rock, and a dash of sea salt transport us to the site where these vines are rooted, giving way to a depth of flavors and aromas that provide a racy yet elegant finish.​

This bottling is dedicated to our grandmother Marjorie, who will always be a bright light of inspiration for us. An incredible woman, her hard work and steadfast determination led us to where we are today.

Born from the remote, rugged landscape of the Sonoma Coast, our second vintage release of our Lady MarjorieChardonnay hails from the rocky soils of Fort-Ross Seaview, resulting in a wine of incredible depth and vibrancy. White peach, crunchy nectarine, crushed wet gravel and white spring flowers jump from the glass. On the palate, these aromas are spliced with zesty lime blossom, stone fruits and fresh apricot, which integrates seamlessly with a backbone of mineral-laced acidity and subtle notes of salinity that all lead to a long, bright finish.
