Littorai The Pivot Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2016
Type: Red

This red wine comes from The Pivot, Littorai's own 3-acre estate block within the 30-acre Gold Ridge property Ted and Heidi Lemon bought in 2003 to farm as a self-sustaining biodynamic model. The vineyard sits at 150 meters on a south-facing ridge in the Sebastopol Hills, in Gold Ridge loam cooled by fog from the nearby Petaluma Gap. Unlike the estate's purchased-fruit bottlings, this one is entirely home-grown, farmed by the winemaker himself from planting to bottle.
