Story

Elizabeth Spencer Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir vineyard is located just north of the San Pablo Bay on Lakeville Highway. The south facing hillside vineyards are near the town of Petaluma in southern Sonoma County. Characteristically, this area benefits from very moderate temperatures due to the influences of both the Pacific Ocean and the nearby San Pablo Bay which converge to create a particularly cool microclimate allowing for a superb expression of this grape variety..

The temperate conditions of the Petaluma Gap provide an opportunity to craft a generous and well-structured Pinot Noir, though without sacrificing purity, layered complexity and aromatic detail. Earthy and broad, our Pinot features ample black cherry, strawberry and pomegranate fruit, complicated by mushroom, spice and orange oil.
