Dating back to the California Gold Rush, the quaint town of Freestone marks a significant time when Pinot Noir cuttings made their way to Sonoma County. Formerly, Freestone was owned by three separate sailors named James. They eventually cleared the redwoods for lumber and established the sandstone quarry, much of which was given away at no charge and built the greater part of San Francisco. The AVA is one of the most demanding growing regions, and in 2017 we sourced from two vineyards in Freestone, Pastoral, and Quarter Moon, both of which experience the extremes of the Sonoma Coast. The cold, fog, and wind of the region, coupled with concrete fermentation to preserve the delicacy, make for an incredibly fresh and vibrant wine.
