Special Instructions

2012 Pivot Vineyard, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir


The Pivot Vineyard has been farmed using biodynamic methods since its inception. 2012 is a vintage of classic, intense fruit aromas, wonderful mid palate richness and significant tannins. These Pinots are well worthy of cellaring and may be among the longest lived we have ever made. The charms of 2010 are elegance and floral aromas. The intrigues of 2011 are the dark, earthy aromas and great balance. There are subtleties of both in 2012, but they are pushed aside by classic fruit tones, richness and tannins. However, there is nothing excessive about the vintage.


2012 The Haven Vineyard, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir


The Haven is our original Estate vineyard.  Planted in 2001, The Haven is a microcosm of the diversity of soils within the Sonoma Coast, containing uplifted undersea volcanics, sandstones, shales and loams.  This translates into the glass as unparalleled complexity. 2012 is a vintage of classic, intense fruit aromas, wonderful mid palate richness and significant tannins. These Pinots are well worthy of cellaring and may turn out to be among the longest lived we have ever made. 


2012 B.A. Thierot Vineyard, Sonoma Coast Chardonnay


B.A. Thierot Vineyard is west of the town of Occidental, on the south shoulder of a 1200' ridge. 2012 proved to be a year of improved, but moderate yields, even ripening, and good berry size. The 2012s are relatively rich wines, certainly have more mid palate weirght than 2010 or 2011, yet the acidities are virtually identical to 2011. They should age very well. Hazelnuts, candied pecans, baked apple, Christmas spices and floral notes give this wine quite an exotic aromatic profile.
