About the Wine
We’re excited to release our sixth vintage of Pinot Noir from our Hop Kiln Estate. With three unique soil types, the grapes from this vineyard produce the famous plush and rich style of Pinot Noir of this region. Harvested from a truly landmark vineyard located on the coveted Westside Road in the Russian River Valley, this unique bottle also features the iconic and historical stone hop kilns, which the California Heritage Society have named a historical landmark.
