In the rising landscape of Western Sonoma County, once dotted with apple trees, the hills of Sebastopol are now blessed with Pinot Noir Vineyards. Painted in fog during much of the late summer, the grapes keep cool during their last days of maturation. A touch of fruit kiss of earth; we have combined a stunning selection of vineyards to create this nectar for your soul.

The 2022 Hillside Cuvée Pinot Noir, a Sonoma Coast appellation blend, greets the senses with lively aromas of red cherry, cranberry, and loganberry, intertwined with subtle hints of forest floor, warm cinnamon, and dried leaves. On the palate, it is both smooth and vibrant, with balanced acidity and intricate layers of crushed rock minerality, white pepper, and gentle spice. The finish is long, refined, and polished, offering immediate enjoyment while developing gracefully over time. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck and herb-crusted pork tenderloin.

Similar to our approach with our Three Sons Cuvee Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, we hoped to create a signature blend of vineyards to represent the Sonoma Coast. We introduced the Three Sons in 2003, but awaited until 2006 to introduce its Sonoma Coast brother.

For Hillside Cuvee, we sourced vineyards close to the Halleck Vineyard Estate, of similar elevation and character. Our desire was to express our region in a single Pinot Noir red wine that aggregated the best qualities for which the region is known.

All our other wines are single vineyards. These represent place at a micro level. In making the Hillside Cuvee, we had the creative opportunity to select vineyards that, together, spoke, “Sonoma Coast.”

Hillside Cuvee does not disappoint! This wine leads with red fruits like pomegranate and fresh cranberry, but delivers bright minerality, referencing river stones in a crisp mid-palate. It finishes in white pepper, lingering for many minutes.
