James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

"This is expressive, with a rich wave of mulberry, plum and boysenberry rolling through, inlaid with anise and iris notes that add range and cut through the toasty, generous finish. Drink now through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."

Tasting notes

The 2024 La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with layered aromas of dark red cherry, clove, tea leaf, and dried florals, offering freshness and beautifully defined aromatics. The palate is vibrant and expressive, with bright acidity framing supple berry flavors through the midpalate. Refined tannins and subtle earthy complexity bring structure and balance, while the finish remains elegantly persistent.

Wine Facts

This blend is comprised of primarily Bob's Ranch, with Gap's Crown and select grower partners throughout Sonoma rounding out the blend. The wine has a true Sonoma Coast character - deep, earthy aromatics - concentration and depth on the palate, with bright fruit and supple tannin on the finish. We utilized whole cluster in this vintage to help accentuate the unique character of each site - we are very pleased with the resulting wine.

Vintage Notes

The 2024 vintage began with much needed winter rainfall that revitalized the soil and set the stage for healthy vine growth, and a balanced crop. Summer was marked by mostly moderate temperatures with a brief burst of warmth around Labor Day, where well-developed canopies shielded the fruit from excess heat. As harvest approached, mild daytime temperatures and cool nights arrived, allowing for steady ripening into September. The resulting wines showcase beautiful color and depth, with precise acidity, rich texture, and concentrated flavors.
