2006 Costiera Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast
Costiera meaning “coastal,” represents our quest to find the finest vineyard lots in the Sonoma Coast. This Pinot Noir is blended from two such vineyards --- the famed “Peter ... more’s Vineyard” and the sought after “Widdoes Vineyard” ---- both near the town of Sebastopol in the cool Russian River Valley. While these vineyards are planted to low vigor rootstalks, meticulous farming ensures vine balance and keeps yields below 2 tons per acre.
