2021 Effort Pinot Noir

Grown along the transverse coastal corridor of Edna Valley, where marine fog rolls directly off the Pacific across calcareous clays and weathered volcanic tuff. A measured portion of whole clusters in open-top fermenters provides structural grip and botanical complexity during its year in French barriques. Cranberry, dried kelp, and chalky earth vibrate across an athletic, crunchy palate driven by high natural tartaric acidity and taut maritime energy.
