Elevator Pitch – Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir
Nestled in the Green Valley sub-appellation, the Hallberg site enjoys refreshing daytime breezes and cool nighttime temperatures. The strong marine influence means less severe daily temperature shifts so the vines never completely shut down, producing fruit with deep, dark color, great structure, silky tannins, darker fruit flavors and earthy characteristics.
