WineSaint
Dark fruit and mineral precision define this polished effort. Cherry liqueur, orange zest and cedar flow with impressive grace, while firm tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the fruit. The finish shows excellent length with hints of spice and earth. Rivals many single vineyard expressions.

Occidental
→Occidental focuses entirely on the extreme western edge of Sonoma Coast, producing single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from fog-belt sites around Freestone, Bodega, and the Sonoma Coast's windward ridges. The wines are structured, cool-climate in character, and built for the cellar.
