Winery's Notes
"As the only wine in our lengthy portfolios of Pinot Noir that crosses over our two notable categories of soil type, Lia’s Vineyard has an expression to it that is distinct from all our other wines. As it should. The Pommard in the upper portions of our blocks provides the sweetness of fruit in both the aromatics and flavor while giving a silky impression in the mid-palate. The lower situated Dijon 115 in marine soil provides more structure as well as infusing minerality and slight earth tones. The one barrel of Mariafeld is the grout that pulls these disparate features together and makes them harmonious. With this vineyard’s vines now ranging from 20-30 years in age, the site having gone a farming transformation over the past 3-4 years and a re-dedication to making this bottling that began with the 2016 vintage, this wine now is far more than informational and instructional about how the combined soils show together in a single wine. This is wine with soaring aromatics that promises to have a long future of slowly unwinding while still being immensely drinkable with a mix of red and black fruits washing over a nicely tight structure of youthful tannins in the here and now."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Lia’s Vineyard is the last iteration of this single vineyard from Patricia Green. Matured in 13% new oak, it has alluring aromas of wild cherry, pomegranate, violet, Earl Grey tea and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is generous and perfumed with soft, chalky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long finish with a flourish of spicy accents." -EB, 11/6/25
