  • 2012 Center of Effort
    Our v.2012 vintage shows a classic Pinot Noir nose of orange peel and Montmorency cherries. The palate is mid-weight with ripe plum, cocoa dust, and a balancing freshness. Earthy notes of new leather and faint campfire lead into a long finish. To enjoy the fullest aromatic expression, decant up to an hour ahead of service.
  • 2013 Center of Effort
    Showcasing a classic Pinot Noir nose of orange peel and Montmorency cherries, this wine expresses the land in which our vineyard lies. The palate is mid-weight with ripe plum, cocoa dust and a balancing freshness. Earthy notes of new leather and faint campfire lead to a lengthy finish. To enjoy the fullest aromatic expression, decant up to an hour before serving.
  • 2011 Center of Effort
    Time has allowed the Chardonnay to develop and mellow during cellaring. It is just now beginning to show hints of white truffle and rich custard around the edges of the lime and white peach fruit character.
  • 2013 Center of Effort
    Our v.2013 Chardonnay shows a richness of citrus and stone fruit. Juicy lime flavors are augmented by ripe white peach and a balanced impression of sweetness on the palate.
  • 2015 Effort
    Aromatically pure Pinot Noir with ripe raspberry and spiced orange notes. Simultaneously rich and racy in the mouth, with cardamom pod, ripe plum, and earthy aromas of dark loam and dried fig. Complex and long, it will evolve in your glass over the course of an evening.
  • 2016 Effort
    Very-pale pink/peach tone. Watermelon and pear-skin aromas, very pure and crisp in the mouth, with some subtle floral & herbal notes that balance the fruitiness. A complex and very elegant ‘Vin-Gris’ manifestation of the Pinot Noir grape.
  • 2014 Effort
    This estate Chardonnay opens with aromas of lemon curd and gardenia. Forceful on the palate, with juicy citrus notes of tangerine and Japanese yuzu. A refreshing mineral note joins with crisp acidity for a long focused finish.
  • 2015 Effort
    The 2015 Chardonnay is especially opulent, with aromas of citrus blossom and tuberose. Flambéed orange peel and Cointreau fruit notes on the palate, with balancing freshness.
  • 2014 Giallo Solare
    Extraordinary, with pure white peach and apricot fruit character, richness on the palate, and a long, mineral-laden finish.
