The 2023 Central Coast Pinot Noir is largely a blend of two vineyards in Arroyo Seco, Mission Ranch and Cedar Lane with a small amount of Vecino from Potter Valley also added. As always, our clonal selections are primarily Pommard and 2A (Wädenswil), but with a little Dijon mix for forward fruit and riper flavors. The various blocks were harvested in the 21 - 22.5 brix range during September. 

Elegant and lean per normal, but unmistakably, a California Pinot Noir with ethereal fruit and spice. I say the same thing every year, but always a go-to choice to serve with almost any food, fun to drink, and not budget busting. The 2023 is a return to the lighter side of Pinot that we always try to represent.
