The Estate vineyard is one of the coolest growing sites in California, and fans of bright acidity in Pinot Noir will find plenty of flavor to go along with the vibrancy. Cherry, cinnamon, talc and touches of vanilla and dry earth are abundant, and the blooms with sweet oak and a mild citric kiss. A blend of clones 777, Pommard, 115 and 828.
