We are thrilled to offer you our Peter Martin Ray Chardonnay and Deep End Anderson Valley Pinot Noir from the textbook perfect vintage of 2018. This was truly one of the best vintages the North Coast of California has experienced in the past 25 years. The winter was abundantly wet, minimal frost, and a harvest, that for most, began after labor day. The fog kept daily highs to just a couple of hours at 80F, then the lows in the low 50s at night. The grapes truly received a long cool growing season that allowed them to come to physiological ripeness at an even tick. This resulted in low alcohols, high acids in the fruit, and incredible purity of fruit flavors. A winemaker’s dream. ⁣

As we wait to release our wines until they have some bottle age, much has already been written about the calibur of the 2018 wines. They are sensational. ⁣
​⁣
We are also releasing our 2020 Wiley Vineyard Riesling, this wine is electric and is an early showing of the quality of fruit the 20 vintage provided to those vineyards not affected by the fires during the growing season.

Spring Release Introduction 🌷⁣
2018 Peter Martin Ray Chardonnay ⁣
Santa Cruz Mountains⁣
-——————————————————⁣
We 💛 Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains! This varietal has a long history in this appellation. The wines all have a signature saline & floral quality. ⁣

The Chardonnay cuttings that Martin Ray propagated to plant Peter Martin Ray, were brought back from France in 1896 from Paul Masson’s friend Louis Latour. The Masson derived cuttings are what we today call Mt. Eden selection Chardonnay. ⁣

We are inspired by Martin Ray and Paul Masson for their visionary work in the California wine industry. To step foot on the soils that Martin Ray labored over is hard to articulate...we feel lucky and more so honored. ⁣

Spring Release Introduction 📣⁣⁣
2020 Wiley Riesling Anderson Valley ⁣
———————————————————⁣⁣
Our Riesling comes from the Deep End, only 10 miles from the ocean. The Wiley vineyard Riesling was planted in 1976. The block has Muscat capping the end of the Riesling rows, an Alsatian-style treat. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Many varietals grow well in AV with exceptional varietal character showcasing the unique stamp that only Anderson Valley can impart, truly cool and coastal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Some of the earliest plantings in Anderson Valley were Riesling. Today AV has only 25 acres of Riesling across 7 producing vineyards. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We love Riesling because it is a true barometer of the climate and soil the grapes are grown in. Encompassing a kaleidoscope of flavors based on the wine’s origin and the style the wine is made in. Think of Riesling as the swiss army knife of wine, it works with most things. ⁣⁣

Spring Release introduction 🍷⁣⁣
2018 Deep End Anderson Valley Pinot Noir ⁣⁣
————————————————
We use a combination of clones from two different sites to make our Pinot Noir as whole as we can. The Pommard clone is the base of our Pinot Noir from Romani vineyard in the Deep End of the valley, planted in 1999, this is the coolest part of the valley most influenced by the Pacific 10 miles away. Pommard is known for having earthy savory aromas. In Califorrnia, we have fruit aromas in abundance. To balance out the California fruit to the Pommard nature we load this fermenter with whole cluster ~45%. The result is a wine with tons of base, rosebalm, flint, and black tea characteristics. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Nash Mill vineyard provides us with some curb appeal with highly aromatic Dijon clones. 667 and 115 provide pinot perfume with sweet herbs, florals, and juicy raspberry and blueberry fruits. ⁣⁣

//Our Growers//⁣

Our fruit is organically farmed by a most talented group of grape growers. We work with small independent growers that live on their vineyards. As the vineyards are essentially an extension of their homes, the fruit we purchase is handled with keen observation and intention as seen translated by the expressive wines. ⁣

​⁣
Our growers are everything to us. Without this caring and nurturing throughout the year, we would not have the core of what makes exceptional wine. The beginning is exceptional fruit. ⁣

Cheers to the Vernal Equinox. ⁣

Spring 🌱🌼🌸 has arrived! ⁣

Our Peter Martin Ray Chardonnay in Santa Cruz has woken up. ⁣

Anderson Valley is not far behind for bud break. Vines are weeping. The pruning wounds will begin to push water. ⁣

Swipe 👈🏽 to see weeping.

Weeping is a sign that the vines are awaking from their slumber and bud break is not far off.
