In 2017, Mother Nature delivered a concentrated harvest, and our talented team worked tirelessly to bring the fruit in at peak quality. These wines are inspired by our desire to capture the essence of many of California’s best vineyards for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This place-driven focus guides every decision in both vineyard and cellar, and each year we strive to produce exemplary representations of vintage and terroir.

Back in 2002, Steve Kanzler took a chance and sold our founders grapes that were used to make some of our first Pinot Noir. Over the years, the Kanzler property has become recognized as a jewel of Sonoma Coast, featuring Goldridge sandy loam soil, select Pinot Noir clones, and a cool climate that adds a verve and edge to the character of this wine.

The resulting Pinot Noir is a pillar of our Fall offering, and it showcases the purity of the fruit from this former apple orchard, along with all the delicious nuances it has to offer.
