Spanish for “fog,” la neblina rolls in from the Pacific Ocean to blanket and cool the coastal Pinot Noir vineyards of western Sonoma County. The core component of the 2011 La Neblina was derived from the Hallberg Ranch, just up the road from the winery. This vintage offers additional vineyard sources, most notably from a coastal site on a ridge above the town of Occidental. Sheep are helping to facilitate an organic farming transition by eliminating the need for in–vine–row chemical weed control.

Displays a medium dense scarlet center with shimmers of magenta. The energetic nose offers a mélange of young red fruit, Crispin apple and hibiscus tea. The bright entry sings with the palate while releasing jabs of forest berries and touches of sandalwood and cardamom. The full body carries a savory quality that rounds with sturdy tannin integration and concentrated acidity. The finely-grain French oak lifts the fruit elusively. A wine that is intensely nuanced now yet will continue to reveal itself over the next 5-10 years.

“Vivid red. Suave red berry and floral aromas, with complicating notes of cola, cocoa and licorice. Silky, nicely balanced and fresh, with energetic red berry flavors that gain flesh and weight with air. This elegant, focused and fat-free pinot finishes with sweet red fruit flavors and very good length. ”— Josh Raynolds

“The 2011 Pinot Noir La Neblina has good up-front density in its perfumed red fruit. At times a bit delicate and fragile, this gracious, medium-bodied wine is probably best enjoyed over the next few years. The purity of the fruit is impossible to miss. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. ” — Antonio Galloni
