2018 La Crema Sealift Vineyard Pinot Noir

The Sealift Vineyard is in the extreme and rugged Annapolis area of the Sonoma Coast, just one ridge from the Pacifc Ocean. This steeply sloped estate vineyard rests at high elevation, often above the maritime fog, and enjoys bright sunshine throughout the growing season. The soils are primarily Goldridge sandy loam — highly sought-after for its excellent drainage and vine vigor control. Vineyard crews still occasionally find ancient sea shells in the soil, giving the vineyard its name.
