Vineyard

Pisoni Vineyard

Est. 1982

One of the most celebrated vineyard sites in California. The Pisoni family pioneered high-elevation Pinot Noir in SLH, and the fruit is sought after by elite winemakers nationwide. The Vineyards consist of small blocks arranged on and around the ridges of the mountainous landscape. Farming is precise, and carried out with a long-term vision and sustainability. The Pisoni Family produces essentially one wine per year under this label. The wine is a blend from several low-yielding blocks on the Estate and is hand-crafted to best represent the vineyard and spirit of the Pisoni Family.
