Bien Nacido Vineyard
From the old vines of Bien Nacido's G Block, this is a fascinating counterpoint to our estate wines, showing the incredible contrast between these two sites. While our estate is composed of sand, Bien Nacido has much denser, rockier sooils, with clay and sandstone forming the majority of this block. We find that this leads to denser, more muscular expressions of Pinot Noir without lacking for grace.
