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

The 2017 Pinot Noir Miller Vineyard is a racy, exuberant wine. Succulent red cherry, cola, spice, mint and dried flowers wrap around the palate. Juicy and bold, with tons of Russian River Valley flamboyance, the 2017 is alluring, impeccable in its balance and very easy to like. – 92 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.
