Crafted by the acclaimed Ernst Storm, this wine shows off everything we love about Sta. Rita Hills Pinot—lifted aromatics, pure red fruit, earthy undertones and silky tannins. A team favorite, this Pinot never fails to impress, no matter who’s at the table or what’s on the menu. It strikes that rare balance of elegance and approachability—making it a staple in our cellar.

This wine was sourced from vineyards that come with a unique terroir of sandy, silex, and pink limestone soils… unlike any other Sauvignon Blanc appellation in the world. The combination produces a wine that is beautifully ripe, round, textured, lush, and full of complex aromas. These wines are capable of aging quite gracefully!
Lutte Raisonneé farming, indigenous yeast fermentation, raised in stainless steel & enamel tanks, wine does not underage malolactic conversion.
You’ve gone from shrubland to woodland to highland. When you stop to sip on a Chief Peak, the piney hops are first to arrive. The tropical tones of passion fruit, orange, and gooseberry aren’t far behind. Look out on the valley and trace the contours of the mountain. Breathe in the thinning air, wipe the sweat from your brow, and take another well-earned sip.
The Old Eight Cut refers to a diamond cut dating back to the 1400s using simple tools and few cuts to enhance the natural brilliance of the stone without disguising its true nature.
The first sip shows a center point of sweetness that is buttressed by dark red fruit, ripe tannins and a hint of nori that give the wine a serious edge. With air and time, the sappy spicy notes that come from partial whole cluster fermentation resonate on the finish, making this wine one with incredible depth that will drink well now and over the next 10 years.
