Perched on Sonoma Mountain, the windswept Sun Chase vineyard faces west across the Petaluma Gap, where cool maritime breezes and rocky soils create an ideal environment for this late-ripening Pinot Noir, imparting vibrant fruit flavors, bright acidity, and the Petaluma Gap’s signature freshness and elegance. The 2023 vintage offers notes of hawthorn, alpine strawberry, and rose petals, with rich black cherry and plum compote on the palate, balanced by silky tannins, toffee, and baking spices.
