    ABOUT THIS WINE

    The Fort-Ross Seaview label is curated from our Estate vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. We made this wine to reflect the unique nuances that this small viticultural area has on a wine due to the climate, proximity to the ocean and soil profile, in combination with our family’s trademark farming style and dedication to crafting the highest quality wines true to where they are grown.

    GROWING YEAR INFO

    The 2022 growing season started out with ideal conditions with early rains helping to push bud break timing into Spring.  This was followed by a late frost and high winds during flowering.  We experienced shatter (a grape berry fails to develop because of incomplete pollination) from the frost, but only in select vineyards, mostly in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. Great care was taken by going block by block and thinning any clusters that had shatter. Following a summer of perfectly hot days and cool nights, we had a significant heat event over Labor Day weekend. This was one of the warmest 7-day periods on record for Sonoma County. Tank space was pushed to its limit, but we were able to get everything in at the right time. Lee Sr. said that in all his years of farming, this was the first vintage that all of our red varietals had been picked by the end of September

    Tasting Notes

    The bright nose has intriguing aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberry, and pomegranate. As the wine glides across the palate, mouthwatering flavors of juicy red plum and rhubarb are present. The balanced acid profile complements the hints of mineral found in the long finish.
