Winemaker Notes

Offering bright fruit and floral nuances with dense ripe cherries, wild strawberry, rose petals and jasmine, this seductive wine continues to evolve both in the glass and in the bottle revealing its more subtle notes of vanilla spice and stoney minerality. The palate is incredibly intense and seductive with its smooth structure and silky finish.

VINOUS Review
by Antonio Galloni

Dark cherry, plum, rose petal, mint, dried flowers and licorice give the 2016 Pinot Noir Miller Vineyard its distinctly earthy profile and rather somber feel. Deceptive in its mid-weight personality, the 2016 has quite a bit of depth lurking in the background. – 90 pts.

Miller Vineyard

Located on the southern edge of Graton, this north facing one acre vineyard lies on a gentle slope that protects the fruit from the hot afternoon sun. Planted in 1998 in Goldridge soils the vines are trained on a vertical trellis.
