The Word of the Producer
Where the Cienega Valley, carved by the Gabilan Mountains fault, opens to the sea, a salty echo wafts through the fresh mountain air.
It encounters ancient soil and limestone, transforming into a vibrantly elegant Pinot Noir, a wine that speaks the language of the Old World with an unmistakable California accent.
