This wine is a part of our Library Collection wines, which are a select group of our most age-worthy & rare wines. This Pinot Noir is from the second oldest remaining vintage produced from our Legacy Estate Pinot Noir Vineyard, which was planted in the late 90's and inherited by us in 2008. It was removed in 2017, so 2016 was the final vintage from this vineyard. The 2016 vintage showed a return to normal yields in Sonoma compared to 2015, and was generally a good year.

One of Gio’s favorite vineyards, Emma’s is one he drives by on the way to his daughter’s school. He took over farming the vineyard in 2019. Planted in 1998 to Dijon clones in prized Goldridge soils, it faces west and is organically farmed. For this vintage, he chose all clone 667, from the top of the hill, overlooking an apple orchard.
