We went back to Pocket Canyon in 2024--the sweet little vineyard that gave us pea-sized berries and a gusher of sour red fruit last year. The site is planted with prized Swan clone on a steep slope enclosed by redwoods in a fog-choked canyon west of Forestville. It's "dry-farmed by default" because the coyotes chew on the drip lines. The other component in the wine is from the Sealift Vineyard on the West Sonoma Coast near Annapolis. Just a few miles from the Pacific, Sealift provides a savory, saline quality that marries well with the pretty red-fruit notes. The wine showcases what we love about Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir — energy, mouthwatering acidity, and signature tone.
