2023 Fort Ross Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, USA
In 1994, South African visionaries Lester and Linda Schwartz claimed this unforgiving ridge mere miles from the Pacific, reviving grape growing on land first cultivated by Russian settlers in 1817.
This daring estate in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA stands as California's closest vineyard to the ocean, defying relentless winds and fog to forge Pinots of rare intensity and precision.
Multiple heritage clones thrive across steep, marine-influenced blocks, hand-harvested and gently fermented to capture vivid coastal fruit alongside saline minerality.
A lithe symphony of tart black raspberry, wild plum, and underbrush electrified by oceanic salinity and silken finesse.
Bring on the herb-crusted wild salmon. This masterpiece was crafted for this classic.
An untamed elegance emerges from the edge of the continent, reserved for those who seek wines that whisper secrets of the sea.
Secure this extreme coastal icon while it remains within reach.
