Wendling Vineyard Three Vintage Vertical

Wendling Vineyard has come to be known as one of the most coveted – and daunting – Pinot Noir sites in all of California. The challenges are many in this wild expanse, as extremely steep terrain obviates the use of machinery for most farming tasks. The foggy climate is damp and there are fewer growing degree-days here than nearly anywhere on the West Coast, resulting in small berries and modest yields. Yet in owner and vineyard manager Paul Ardzrooni’s experienced hands, this exceptional site has earned a stellar reputation. The superlative mix of clones on these 20 acres results in high-toned Pinot Noir with lifted aromatics, layers of fruit and defined structure. This trio of wines features three outstanding vintages from this rugged site:

• (1) 2017 Wendling Vineyard Pinot Noir
• (1) 2018 Wendling Vineyard Pinot Noir
• (1) 2019 Wendling Vineyard Pinot Noir

Ground shipping is included with this set.
