Pickleball Pinot Noir is made from single vineyard sites throughout Santa Cruz and Monterey. The wine is filled with bright red fruit aromatics, soft and delicate palate feel and a long sexy finish.
We used French Oak, high quality Taransaud barrels. This Merlot comes from the Regan vineyard, which is a longer and cooler growing region for this grape varietal. It has blackberry, black cherry and touch of dark soil and clay on the palate. It a balance of earth of fruit, medium body and fresh on the finish with a touch of acidity for food pairing.
This vineyard is farmed by John Bargetto, Regan is a great high elevation vineyard in Corralitos. The soils here are loamy/clay with some very rocky sections as it sits hillside and has great influence from the Monterey bay.
This wine has bright acidity and citrus tones, lemon and lime.
188 cases produced.
Cherry and pomegranite aroma's, high acid palate and the use of stems shows in the wine in balanced perfection.

Antonio Galloni, 91pts
One of the best wines to come out of the winery, this wine is filled with acidity and laser focus. A very textural wine that will be better with a little time. Though the wine needs time in the bottle, there will be award in your patience.
