2021 La Neblina Pinot Noir bottle

2023 Spring Release

 

Vineyard Profile

Spanish for “fog,” la neblina rolls in from the Pacific Ocean to blanket and cool the coastal Pinot Noir vineyards of western Sonoma County. This is our flagship Pinot Noir, always a cellar favorite, and is comprised of a complex array of three organically grown West County coastal sites on Goldridge soil. In 2021, the sites comprising La Neblina – the Estate, Dierke, and Alberigi vineyards – saw balanced yields showcasing classic, cool-climate fruit. With 20% whole cluster inclusion and mostly neutral, tight-grained French cooperage, the 2021 La Neblina once again charmingly encapsulates the context of the vintage and the character of the Sonoma Coast.

Tasting Notes

The 2021 La Neblina deliciously embodies the misty forest floor and wild berry fruit of the cool Sonoma Coast. Quenching notes of red currant and Bing cherry are further lifted by invigorating touches of wild sage, warm cinnamon spice, and dried rose petals. A polished, medium weight texture carries through to a bright finish. Delightfully energetic upon release, the 2021 La Neblina also shows promising potential for long-term aging.
