Vineyard
This limited-release Highlands Bench Pinot Noir comes from the Costa Vineyard, in the famed Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey. In 2008, we were invited to partner with the Costa family to establish a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyard on the family property. We participated in soil evaluation, vineyard layout, and clone and rootstock selection, ultimately choosing the highest elevations and most gravelly soils for the Pinot Noir plantings. The close proximity to Monterey Bay, the estate’s eastern slope and aspect, and its elevation above the valley floor combine to grow intensely- flavored Burgundian varietals.
