Description
Myles' family purchased this site in 1988. This site neighbors Charles Heintz to the west and was originally planted in ‘74 to Grey Riesling making it one of the first planted still-wine sites along the Sonoma Coast. The vineyard was later replanted to Pinot Noir in 2005.
"Aged 10 months in 25-40% new French oak, it offers lots of mulled red and black fruits, smoked herbs, Asian spices, and dried flowers. Rich and medium-bodied, with bright acidity and ripe tannins, it's another age-worthy 2018 Pinot Noir from this estate that shows the quality of this great vintage." - 96+ pts, Jeb Dunnuck
