2018 Cuvée Eva Marie Pinot Noir
Named after Bill’s wife, this wine has a lot to live up to. Eva is known for her grace and natural beauty, paired with an authentic and kind spirit. This wine is crafted from the absolute best fruit from our organically farmed Sonoma Mountain property, One Sky, which is then aged in hand-selected, toasted French Oak barrels. The 2018 is pure luxury—covered with rose petals, blackberries, and a perfect blend of vanilla, cinnamon, and cocoa nib at the finish. We are swept away, year after year, with this special bottling. We’ve sequestered this beautiful wine in the cellar for six additional months to let her rest and develop as she deserves!

More Information
2018 was one of those magical years. With a mild spring, the early growing season plodded along at a relatively normal pace. Once the berries set, we knew we had a healthy and full crop. So full, in fact, we did a number of fruit-thinning passes to reduce load on the vines. Even with this, we were happy to see an above average harvest with superb quality. We started picking in earnest after Labor Day, with cool, fall weather that allowed us to transfer the grapes in a calm and measured pace. All in all, 2018 will go down as a year to remember, with wines of true depth and power.
