Sonoma Coast
Campbell Ranch
This true Sonoma coast Pinot Noir is near the town of Annapolis, in the northernmost region of Sonoma County. The vineyard is perched at 1,000 ft elevation, above the fog/clouds and the Pacific coastline. The proximity to the ocean keeps the vineyard site extremely cool, yet the elevation ensures continuous sunshine on the vines. The soil is calcareous coastal sandstone and is planted to multiple Dijon clones. All of these factors combined help deliver a beautiful Pinot Noir, Its' long and cold growing season means notes of black cherry and black tea, with bright yet graceful acidity.

At Davis Family Vineyards we strive to highlight the unique characteristics that make fruit from each vineyard, from each varied mico-climate, so very special and unique. All of our Pinot Noir is aged in French oak for 10 months. 1/3 of the barrels are new, 1/3 are one year old, and 1/3 are 2 year old. In doing so, we are able to benefit from the finesse and structure of barrel aging, while not overwhelming the varietal characteristics of Pinot Noir.
The fermentation was conducted using native yeast in small, temperature controlled, open top fermentors. Gentle punch downs were done over a 3-4 week fermentation, after a 5-7 day cold soak. The Pinot is then pressed and transferred directly into barrel, using gravity flow.
