Sourced from the famed Surprise Valley Ranch in Comptche, this bottling comes from one of Mendocino County’s most distinctive coastal vineyards. Own-rooted vines, Perry Gulch soils, and constant ocean breezes produce a wine of power, purity, and tension. The 2023 Mendocino – Comptche Pinot Noir opens with aromatics of dark cherry, red currant, pine forest, and wet stone. On the palate, it is concentrated yet lifted, showcasing vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish that promises decades of evolution.
