A Perfect Spot To
Create Amazing Wine

The vines have to work hard for nutrients in our gravelly volcanic soils, producing grapes with more concentrated flavor and with skins that are naturally thickened by the winds of the Petaluma Gap, creating richer body, and a bright acid balance.

This expression of Panther Ridge is a true Earth Mother, with a lithe texture. A veil of cinnamon mocha and spiced black cherry is made alert by a fine acid structure. It finishes with a zing of cranberry and sandalwood.

Foggy mornings give rise to breezy afternoons, providing the perfect climate for ripening grapes to perfection

FARMING + LOCATION = 93 & 95 PT RATINGS

We have never spread any commercial chemicals on our vineyard. In early 2020 we began farming the vineyard by following biodynamic principles.

The volcanic soils provide an added boost to flavors that make our wines truly memorable. 

A perfect combination of soils, climate, and winemaking — all of which allow the grapes to express their personality in the resulting wine.

"Wearing a dark-ruby robe, this complex wine entices with a nose of black cherry, earth, and cocoa that leads to boysenberry, truffle, mushroom, toast, and garrigue on the palate. With fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity, it’s a classic Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir. From a certified organic vineyard, it’s aged in (50% new) French oak for 17 months."

"Delicate red cherry fruit with some light forest berries and a vibrant herbal component, chalky mineral crunch, and overall lively zest. Very chewy grip on the palate with a wealth of fine tannins that don't overwhelm the wine and give it a great deal of excellent length and definition" -

"What begins as an offering of Mayan cocoa evolves into lovely, deep, and silky, dark mountain raspberry fruit. Cordial, Moroccan spice with a faint hint of baked anise in your grandmother’s cake. Rich in concentration but not overdone. Balanced, showing great acidity and truly built for toasted chicken or turkey, but Peking duck calls like red satin gracing a single and matured, Melania, free from her confines and gracing a dance floor at a ball in a grand hotel…spirited and sexy."
