2009 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2009 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2009 was our second vintage working with Rodgers Creek Vineyard. Especially well-suited for Pinot noir, this site sits high on a ridge in the heart of the Petaluma Gap, taking the full brunt of wind and thick fog that define this cool climate zone. The vines grow 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.
