50% Pisoni, as well as choice SLH estate sites: Sobranes, Garys' and WindRock Vineyard, all from the southern end of the appellation. This wine is completely 100% free-run. This has about 20% whole cluster; there's great harmony here, with pops of pomegranate, salt, and violet floral tones. The palate is classic and elevated, fruit-driven California Pinot Noir, with savoury complexity, garrigue and exotic spices to finish. Drinking Window 2026-2035.
