Straddling a unique confluence of volcanic and ancient marine sedimentary soils, Alexana Estate Vineyard and neighboring Kinney Ranch Vineyard come together to offer a vibrant tapestry of flavors. Regenerative farming practices and meticulous hand-harvesting ensure each block’s individual character is preserved.

Introducing our ‘Mosaic’ Pinot Noir, a testament to the unparalleled diversity of terroir within Alexana Estate’s two vineyards nestled in the backside of the Dundee Hills. At the heart of our ‘Mosaic’ lies the Alexana Estate Vineyard, a renowned site twice honored in Wine Spectator’s TOP 100. Straddling a unique confluence of volcanic and ancient marine sedimentary soils, this vineyard features 32 blocks, each a distinct expression of soil, clone, and rootstock.

Together, these two vineyards offer a vibrant tapestry of flavors. Regenerative farming practices and meticulous hand-harvesting ensure each block’s individual character is preserved. The grapes are fermented and aged separately, allowing their unique personalities to fully develop before being brought together into this final ‘Mosaic’ of Pinot Noir. 

100% Pinot Noir from the Alexana Estate Vineyard and Kinney Ranch Vineyard. 10 months aging in: 23% new French oak barrels, 15% second use French oak barrels, 56% neutral French oak barrels, and 6% concrete.

Savory and structured, this offers red-cherry and dried-orange aromas, together with hints of chocolate nibs and red spices. Medium-bodied with well-defined tannins and bright acidity coming through. Zesty and crunchy finish.
