Single Vineyard Series
Radian Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills, Pinot Noir
Perched on the western cliffs of the Sta. Rita Hills, Radian Vineyard endures some of the most extreme viticultural conditions. With relentless winds, diatomaceous earth, and persistent fog, the vines battle their environment to produce tiny, flavor-concentrated clusters. Located on the ancient seabed-like soil of Rancho Salsipuedes, this vineyard is as challenging as it is remarkable.
The 2020 Radian Pinot Noir, an exclusive one-time release, captures the wild essence of this unique site. Among the coolest and westernmost vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills, Radian delivers a wine of incredible depth and complexity. Bursting with juicy blackberry, ripe wild strawberry, and cherry, the palate evolves with notes of clove, wet slate, and high-toned lavender. Framed by firm tannins and racy acidity, this wine exudes energy and sophistication.
