Situated on an east-facing knoll in the middle of Green Valley, Steve planted its perfectly drained Goldridge sandy loam soil to several Pinot Noir clonal blocks back in 2001. Dan has chosen to use three blocks to consider for this special offering: the mixed block of Pommard and 2A, which produced deep, dark and chewy wine; the 667 block, which adds focus and precise berry fruit; and the 828 block, providing ebullient freshness and solid structure. This year the wine was constructed from 42% of the 828 block, equal parts 2A and POM, and a small amount of 667 providing us a wine with the crystalline fruit focus and luscious pleasure that we adore from this neighborhood.
