Region: Sonoma Coast, California

Vintage: 2019

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

History: Planted in 2007, the Boars’ View vineyard is just under 14 acres and is located near Cazadero along Bohan Dillon Road in the Fort Ross – Seaview AVA. Thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the multiple soil types, we cultivate nearly 10 acres of Pinot Noir, explicitly farming Calera, Mt. Eden, and Swan heritage clones of Pinot Noir and just under two acres of Wente clone Chardonnay. This acreage naturally limits our yields, and the unique clones allow Thomas to thoughtfully separate hand-harvested lots to create our expressive pinot noirs and chardonnay.

Tasting Notes:

“Waves of aromas suggest red licorice, pomegranate reduction, pennyroyal mint, and lavender oil. The bold, dynamic palate suggests notes of macerated boysenberry, cedar shavings, black cherry, oolong tea, and crushed river rock. The entry of this wine starts with a fruit-forward expression and develops more structure and tertiary notes mid-palate, finishing with a pretty, floral quality.” – Thomas River Brown (Winemaker)
