Wine Notes

The full-bodied palate beams with flavors of wild blueberries and licorice, white pepper and cloves that lead to an undercurrent of violet. Seductive, with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, this Pinot Noir finishes long.

Pinot Noir Vineyard Notes

Each hillside vineyard site is chosen for the generous slope, unique sequence of Goldridge soils, ranging from 900–1900 feet above sea level, and microclimate to add dimension to the wines.
A rare, fine-grained sandy loam, Goldridge soils are known for excellent drainage, and a characteristically light and fluffy texture.
A particularly unique site, this vineyard is considered one of the oldest vine Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in California originally planted in 1980.
The coastal climate of the region is marked by warm, dry summers and cool, damp winters.

Map Maker: Summer Dreams, Fortunate Son and Hundred Acre New Releases

The Wine Independent | Lisa Perrotti-Brown

“I’m a direct descendent of Jacques Cartier, the cartographer,” Jayson Woodbridge tells me, seemingly apropos of nothing. But nothing is random or out of context with Jayson. For example, he describes Cartier as a cartographer, not an explorer—the profession by which Cartier is better known. With Jayson, every casually offered piece of shared information is specific and purposeful, whether you get it or not.
