2021 camp meeting ridge chardonnay
Our 2021 Chardonnay is memorably balanced between gravitas and grace, its bright acidity (conjuring coastal Camp Meeting Ridge itself) belying rich textures and galvanizing the palate with dynamic tension. Following a fresh seaside breeze, the vineyard’s signature crushed-rock minerality and preserved lemon emerge, lifted with sweet, pungent herb aromas—mint, wild fennel, and warm, dry grasses. Satisfying weight carries across the palate, complex but focused, with an array of citrus giving way to hints of white stone fruit and the mouth-watering sweet-bitter balance of lemon confit. This is a Chardonnay that will reward with depth and evolving beauty, given a few years in the cellar.
2021 sea view ridge pinot noir
The Wine Pungent coastal aromas pinpoint the source of this Pinot Noir—high-elevation ridges juxtaposed with the mossy, rocky shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. Bright, salty notes on the nose conjure a fresh sea breeze, while cool loam and wild botanicals evoke the evergreen forest nearby. Red cherry and vivid wild strawberry pop on a singularly expressive palate, filling the mouth with firm but fine textures. A distinct vein of iron-rich minerality unspools under intriguing layers of orange peel and bergamot tea, all coming together in a vibrant, lingering finish.

2019 Pietra Pinot Noir
Brooding aromas of damp earth conjure a forest after the first winter rain, with hints of florals, dark fruit, and black tea adding to this wine’s depth and complexity. A core of rich, juicy dark fruit on the palate gets a vibrant wrap of savory herbs, spices, and minerals, with almost visceral texture carrying the wine into a dry, minerally finish.
2019 Cielo Pinot Noir
With both breezy transparency and depth, Cielo gives up the fragrant expression of an ancient oak woodland. Aromas of red earth and warm underbrush mingle with rose petal and bay, while sweet and dour plum flavors dance on the palate with tingly acidity against a backdrop of very slightly grippy mountain tannins, as though silk-screened on the wine for elegant texture. Great energy is filtered through beautiful oak on the finish.

2021 Sonoma Coast Rosè
Elegant and distinct, with aromas of peach, strawberry and subtle hints of rose petal. Bursts of fresh citrus colorfully drive the palate and are balanced with flavors of nectarine and stone fruit. A silky entrance coupled with fresh and uplifting acidity leaves you with our signature coastal expressions.
