The Pinot Noir is sourced from the highest elevation portion of the vineyard at just over 1,000 feet. Purely clone 114 which is entirely de-stemmed prior to fermentation. After a long cuvaison in one small fermenter, the wine is pressed directly into a single egg for it to then evolve within. Our Pinot Noir is bottled in the late summer months immediately before the subsequent harvest season with anticipated release after six months in bottle. Perilune Vineyard Comprised of a vast array of elevation, aspect and soil profile, Perilune is by far and away the most ambitiously complex of all of our vineyards. From beach sand to botella clay, the rugged terrain and dramatic inclines offer a myriad of opportunities for dynamic fruit expression.

Winemaking

Only neutral barrels are employed. We strive for whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy, and balanced with our beautiful Sta. Rita Hills fruit. We often use the analogy of roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavors very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.
