The Dignitary Pinot Noir vines benefit from the unique climate shaped by the Petaluma Gap—a coastal mountain pass that channels cool maritime winds eastward from the Pacific. This natural ventilation maintains moderate daytime temperatures, ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir grapes. Aged unfiltered for 10 months in exclusively French oak barrels, this wine reveals a refined profile featuring layers of red and black fruit complemented by delicate spice nuances.
