2025 Growers Series Pinot Noir

New Vintage Release! This wine was developed from a love for the expression of the vineyard —cool-climate, fog-kissed, and farmed by friends who share our values. The fruit was so vibrant, so layered, that it practically told its own story in the glass. Silky texture, bright red fruit, and a whisper of spice—it was everything we wanted in a Pinot.

Member Price: $64 – $76

Harvested from a hillside vineyard, the balance of cooling morning fog and warm days led to rich red fruit. Full-bodied and richly layered, this wine has excellent structure and introduces earthy tones harmoniously entwined with the red and black fruit. 

The Growers Series wines represent a collection of exceptional varietals found outside of our Rutherford estate. These wines are crafted with the same detail and attention as our estate wines while offering us the opportunity to showcase the vineyards and terroir of our fellow growers throughout Napa and Sonoma.

Vineyard Notes

The 2025 vintage stands out as an exceptional year, shaped by timely rainfall, moderate warmth, and consistently cool nights. Winter rains replenished the soils, leading to an even budbreak and strong early growth, while ideal flowering conditions delivered balanced yields. A warm but steady summer allowed for slow, even ripening, preserving vibrant acidity and encouraging full flavor development. As the season progressed, careful canopy management and precise vineyard decisions became essential, culminating in a tightly timed harvest ahead of an October rain event. The result is a true “winemaker’s vintage,” where every decision carried weight. The white wines from 2025 are bright, aromatic, and poised to stand as a benchmark year for the category, capturing the energy and clarity of the vintage.

Winemaker Notes

Hand-picked, about 15% of the fruit was whole cluster fermented while the remaining fruit was gently destemmed to still get whole berries into the fermentation tank. After 12-14 days on skins, the wine was put into French oak barrels for 10 months before being bottled and released.
