After working with their father in building Continuum, they decided to go off on their own and venture out to the West Sonoma Coast to make cool climate Pinot Noir that can stand on its own on the world stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Wine:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Bodega Vineyard is our coolest and most exotic terroir. Steep, raw and powerful, Bodega sits just east of Bodega Bay between the villages of Freestone and Occidental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1.8-acre site near Bodega Bay is the oldest meter-by-meter planting of Pinot Noir on the Sonoma Coast. Due to its steep slope and tight vine spacing, it is farmed entirely by hand, carrying forward traditions of care and dedication that few vineyards in the world require. Each year, the fog drifts in from the Pacific and blankets the vines, while the surrounding redwood forest shapes the character of this singular site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with aromas of rose petal, black cherry, strawberry, and jasmine blossoms, layered with orange pith and earthy forest floor. Exotic notes of mushroom and spice mingle with a deep core of dark fruit, bringing both power and finesse. On the palate, this interplay of red and black fruit is seamlessly tied to the site’s signature earthy character, carrying through to a finish that echoes the cool, wild beauty of the Sonoma Coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-description pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e100% whole cluster • natively fermented • bottled without fining\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - James Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Aromas of blueberries, strawberries, oyster shells, orange peel and black tea follow through to a medium body with a solid core of fruit and a deep finish.
