2024 Holtermann Vineyard Pinot Noir
A serious wine made for aging. Aromas of fresh blood orange rinds finished with a hydrosol of jasmine and redwood needles. Bright red fruit flavors evolve into a black tea steeped from the leaves of an ancient forest, cloves and allspice.
The 2.56-acre Holtermann Vineyard, located just north of Annapolis, CA (population 200) and five miles inland from the captivating Sea Ranch coastal community, is truly farming on the edge. Its proximity to the ocean moderates daily high temperatures and diurnal fluctuations, leading to consistent seasons and slow, balanced fruit development.
