Traditionally a key contributor to previous appellation blends, the 2016 harvest from Thorn Ridge Vineyard delivers quality and complexity deserving of a single vineyard designation. Planted in 1995, the vineyard is situated just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean on a steep, eastward-sloping hillside.

Thorn Ridge Vineyard is a magnet for cold sea air and coastal fog, which, combined with its dry farming practices on Goldridge soils, creates ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. The low-vigor silt soils contribute to a deep, dark berry profile that defines this vineyard’s character.

Nestled in the hills southwest of Sebastopol, this Sonoma Coast property has been a valued partner in our winemaking journey for many years. It continues to embody all the elements necessary for producing exceptional Pinot Noir.
