2008 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2008 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2008 is the first vintage we have produced wine from Rodgers Creek Vineyard. The site is well-suited for Pinot noir, sitting high on a ridge in the heart of the Petaluma Gap and taking the full brunt of wind and thick fog that define this cool climate zone.
Two blocks of the Pommard Pinot noir clone form the foundation of this wine, with clone 777 adding a layer of bright fruit. The vines are grown in light chalky soils on steep inclines, causing natural vine stress and resulting in high levels of concentration.

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.
