The small vines that grow on this low-vigor, bright-red, windy ridge always produce pea-sized berries, tiny clusters, and perfectly low yields. The wine consistently exhibits natural acidity and great structure indicative of this special place. Learn More

There is serious weight to this powerful wine, yet it remains distinctly balanced with a ripe red fruit component that is grounded and structured by muscular tannins. As evinced by its popularity in my portfolio, the pleasures of this wine are immediate, but there is much to admire behind the scenes. Learn More

The ruby-red color of this wine is lovely in the glass, as are the aromas of framboise, sweet jerky, and flint. Hints of redcurrant and blackberry emerge towards a finish that envelops the palate. Velvety, expansive, and brightly textured. Learn More

On the nose, there is strawberry laced with iron, lingonberry and lavender, and the palate finds fresh-toned red fruit in harmony with earthier, more mineral tones. The mouthfeel is pure satin with an integrated acid through-line. Learn More

Full-bodied, elegant, and rich with bold red fruits, white pepper, clove, and earth. Exceptionally food-friendly and age-worthy.

Dark, brooding color with purple edges. A unique viscosity to this wine in the glass and immediate savory spices drifting outward. Dark red berries, Hawaiian starfruit, root beer cask, and sweet bark emerge as you lean in.

Dark cherry, plum, cloves, smoke, new calfskin, and licorice merge together in the Alban 2012 Pinot Noir. Abundant, rich and sensational in the glass, this red wine is about intensity and power. Learn More

The Pinot noir was harvested coldand allowed to push a cap before getting one homogenizing pumpover as primary fermentation began. Ina year that was hot and drythere was a threat of heaviness, sothe wine saw minimal cap management, gentle press downs or pumpovers as the fermentation temperature peaked,and was pressed when dry. No commercial yeasts or bacteria were used. Learn More

Earth and fruit are both complexly expressed in this nearly-opaque, massive-yet-controlled Pinot from the always impressive Pisoni Vineyard. A melange of dried red flower and black fruits explode on the nose, and the palate bristles with textural notes of potpourri, dark cherry, and watermelon seed. A powerful wine from a powerful site. Lancelot famously became a “Sir” in the course of his adventures, and this very well may be our knighted vintage. Learn More

North is the new Pinot Noir from the Central Coast Rhone Master John Alban. Learn More

Named for the winemaker's late mother, this particular bottling is always a standout. It offers entangled layers of tangerine, strawberry and earthy leather.

The Legan vineyard is a rugged own-rooted planting of Pinot Noir situated at 1,600’ above the tiny community of Coralitos. The hearty vines at Legan are surrounded by the dense Redwood forest of the Southern Santa Cruz Mountains and have been dry farmed since 1980 in deep sandy loam soil. The cooling influence of the nearby Monterey Bay allows for a long steady growing season that coaxes delicate nuance from the fruit grown here. This vineyard spoke to us the moment we set foot in it and thanks to the meticulous work of viticulturist Prudy Foxx we look forward to stewardship of this special site. Learn More

The color is a deep scarlet-red with lush aromas of blackberry bramble, nutmeg, and a hint of caramel. The wine is fresh and exuberant in the mouth with sumptuous strawberry jam, ripe black cherry, cranberry and warm gingerbread.
