Aging and Refining
The 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was aged with a deliberate focus on balance, texture, and site expression. Following a gentle fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels, where it matured for approximately 9 months, with a thoughtful integration of French oak to preserve purity while adding subtle structure. This Pinot Noir is both refined and expressive, with vibrant acidity, polished structure, and a long, elegant finish.
