West Sonoma Coast at its most pure. Wet moss, redwood bark and bay laurel lift from the glass at first. These flavors are soon followed on the palate with impressions of cranberries, blood orange and cardamom. A complete wine that transports the drinker into the sea mist and surrounding coastal redwoods!

95/100 - The 2022 Pinot Noir Richardson Ranch emerges from a young vineyard in Annapolis. It’s a gorgeous wine for a vineyard in its first crop. Pliant and creamy, the 2022 shows the textural richness and intensity without excess weight that can be achieved in some sites on the West Sonoma Coast. Time in the glass brings out striking inner perfume, while a touch of whole clusters (15%) is not especially evident. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

 

This wine was crafted with 15% stem inclusion. It was fermented entirely through wild yeasts after which it was aged in French oak (5% new).

Only 23 cases were produced.

The Richardson family history along the Sonoma Coast began in 1876. With grit, determination and five generations of hard work, the family acquired thousands of acres of timberland and miles of the Sonoma coastline near Annapolis and Stewarts Point. From the beginning, they operated with a deep conservation ethos. In 2016, they worked with the Save The Redwoods League to permanently preserve a significant old-growth redwood forest, including the oldest known redwood tree, which is about 1,640 years of age.

In 2019, just 4.5 miles from the ocean and alongside these massive coastal redwoods, they planted Alma Fria's blocks in their first vineyard, using budwood Alma Fria provided.
