2010 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Elegant aromas of mushroom, earth, and Asian spice overlay a core of dark cherry and blackberry. This wine stands out in a crowd and shows the most Burgundian flavors in our 2010 line-up. The texture is very Californian, with great lushness, silky tannins, and lingering finish.

Rodgers Creek Vineyard
Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap
Rodgers Creek Vineyard sits at 300 feet above sea level, between Sonoma and Petaluma, in the teeth of the wind and fog of the Petaluma Gap. The vines grow in light, chalky volcanic ash soils in steep inclines. This causes natural vine stress and gives the wine high concentration levels.
