VENT A VIN-Pinot Noir-Petaluma Gap 2023

The 2023 Morris Ranch Vineyard Vent à Vin Pinot Noir reflects the wild, wind-swept character of the Petaluma Gap — a wine that reveals its story slowly and beautifully. Upon opening, the nose is earth-driven and brooding, with notes of truffle, damp soil, and crushed herbs. With aeration, the wine blossoms, releasing layers of black cherry, red plum, and cranberry, accented by subtle hints of tea leaf, cedar, and clove from its 18 months in French oak (50% new). On the palate, Vent à Vin strikes a harmonious balance between earth and fruit, its silky texture and lively acidity carrying flavors of wild berries, forest spice, and savory minerality. The finish is long, pure, and quietly powerful — a reflection of both site and patience.
