Ruby Blanca Pinot Noir (2022)
Light, lifted, and quietly expressive.
Smooth and silky with notes of ripe raspberry, bright cherry, and a subtle hint of eucalyptus. This is a light-bodied Pinot Noir with freshness at its core—elegant and easygoing. Lovely alongside a juicy lamb chop, creamy pasta, or a cool evening walk as the seasons shift. Serve with a slight chill if you’d like.
Sourced from Hawkeye Ranch in Redwood Valley, Mendocino—a high-elevation, cool-climate site planted in 1970. The 2022 vintage was notably cool, resulting in fruit that came in light and bright, with clarity and restraint. Made without additions, this is a pure expression of Pinot Noir and place.
