2023 Alma Fria, Richardson Ranch Pinot Noir, West Sonoma Coast, USA Ghostwriter as were the Red Romes

as were the Red Romes from Grand View

The bunches are harvested by hand and destemmed

Racked straight from the press into barrels

with those vines having been planted in 1947

de-stemmed and allowed to macerate on the skins for 12 days

2023 Alma Fria, Richardson Ranch Pinot Noir, West Sonoma Coast, USA Ghostwriter as were the Red RomesRichardson Ranch is a throwback to an era when old growth redwoods were abundant and the humanity they attracted, supported, and fed were symbiotic. This is the historic terroir of the West Sonoma Coast. Its modern story repeats this ethos with the winegrape. Its wine aromas echo an understory of wet conifers filled with wild herbs & spices, while its fruit flavors give blood orange, cinnamon, and sage. Together, they forge an intense coastal tea.
