100% Pinot Noir from the West Sonoma Coast. Whole berries are fermented in open-top tanks and puncheons, with a mix of Demptos and Taransaud barrels crafted from blonde, tight-grained wood from the Vosges forest. The wine is bottled unfined. This is a fabulously plush and decadent Pinot Noir, unabashedly buzzing with joy and indulgence. It’s your Dude Abides Pinot Noir—warm, sweet spices, elegant cedarwood notes, star anise, and black liquorice combined with hedonistic, cocoa-tinged tobacco. Fabulous cranberry and blood orange fruits mingle with juicy layers of dark chocolate, saddle leather, and roasted meats. It’s the perfect steakhouse Pinot Noir. In 2019, Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre began producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir under the Summer Dreams label, using fruit from cool-climate vineyards on the extreme Sonoma Coast. (JC)
