Russian River Valley Pinot Noir & Chardonnay
We are more than excited to bring you our latest wines! These small batch, handcrafted wines are brought to you full of love for friends and life. Our Estate Pinot Release - our Succession Vineyard (for our grandchildren (Will and Dylan) - is the perfect expression of both the Russian River AVA and the vineyard from which it comes. Our Cicero bottling (a blend of four special barrels every year) is also true to its terroir, but has a bold character that stands up tall! And our prized Estate Chardonnay is from our granddaughter Sophie’s blocks, and embodies her bright spirit and exuberance for life.
To say that we are proud of and excited about our wines is an understatement. Our Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay are the finest expression of our Estate and our Family, and represent something we are proud to put our name on. We are also very excited about the continued expression of our Estate - an experience designed for style and comfort in the heart of the Russian River Valley.
