Limited production wines by mother-and-daughter duo Rickey Trombetta Stancliff and Erica Stancliff. Clones of Pinot Noir exemplify the rich minerality, soils, and cool weather of the Sonoma Coast, resulting in beautifully balanced wines that enhance every meal. Each bottle is hand-harvested and hand-produced.

Region: Sonoma Coast

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir

Vineyard: On Gap's Crown Vineyard, selected clones of Pinot Noir were planted 15 years ago on the west-facing hillside of Sonoma Mountain, offering multiple exposures and excellent Petaluma Gap climate conditions. The soil consists of Goulding Cobbley Loam.

Winemaking: Grapes are hand-harvested by night and immediately pressed. Fermentation takes place in barrels with native yeast, then the wine is aged for 10 months on lees in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: This wine offers a nose of juicy blackberry and dark fruit notes. The lush and structured palate reveals silky fruit aromas with notes of cooking spices and berry cobbler.

Food Pairing: This wine matches well with a large range of food but is perfect with tasty dishes such as grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or pork with garlic or herb sauce.
