Notes: The microclimates of the Sonoma Coast AVA include the western portion of Carneros and the Petaluma Gap. The cool climate and low yield of these vineyards allow Pinot Noir grapes to mature slowly while retaining their natural acidity, resulting in a balanced wine with ripe flavors, silky texture and crisp acidity. Aged primarily in large oak casks and “neutral” older barrels, this wine exhibits flavors of cherries, strawberries and spice, with a lively finish that is an ideal...

Notes: Sea Sun Pinot Noir is created from the singular beauty and character of the California coast. Like Sea Sun Chardonnay, this wine is sourced from premier coastal regions of California. Their ideal conditions allow for an extended growing season and enable us to create a layered wine – intense and creamy on the palate, with lush fruit and grippy tannins.

VINEYARDS: The fruit for our 2018 Pinot Noir comes from the Central Coast with 60% coming from Sta. Rita Hills and 40% coming from our sister property Chalone Estate. Perfect for growing Pinot Noir, our vineyards nestled in the Sta. Rita Hills are marine-based and the weather is consistently cool thanks to moist ocean breezes. The thin, limestone-rich soils of Chalone Vineyard produce low yields of grapes bursting with rich, intense flavors and impeccable balance. VINTAGE: The 2018 growing...

APPELLATION: Much of Smoking Loon Pinot Noir’s character comes from blending the fruit of several...

Winemaker’s Notes: Deep garnet in color with a vibrant nose. Lively aromas of bing cherry and candied plum entice the nose while the soft mouthfeel gives way to avors of dark fruit with elements of bramble and tar, baking spice and cola. The Vintage: For the third consecutive year, the Willamette Valley was treated to a near-perfect vintage. With higher spring temperatures leading to the earliest bud-break on record, it looked to be a challenging run ahead. But with cool and consistent...

Underwood Pinot Noir is the one we are known for and an easy introduction to the Union Wine Company brand. Using grapes from across the state allows us to craft a wine that is both elegant and refined while also delivering a purity and focus of fruit that is bursting at the seams. We experienced a wet, cool spring which delayed flowering until late June, setting the stage for a later harvest. The cool spring was replaced by a hot, dry summer. Harvest started in September. A few light showers...

VINTAGE FACTS 2019: A relatively mild, early winter in 2018 was followed by a cold and wet second half of winter in 2019 and then a wet but warm spring. The growing season saw a few mild frosts during late April, but started off warmer than average, moderating through mid-vintage with fewer-than-average heat spikes. The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions. Degree-day totals for 2019 ended up similar...

Structured, vibrant, and savory, this rich Pinot Noir offers bold flavors of spicy dark fruit along with layers of pleasing earthiness and...
