I’ll meet you in the school yard, baby, for all the marbles! A sentence authored by Mike Lange seconds after the Penguins won Game 6 and forced a Game 7 in the 2009 Stanley Cup Final. The Penguins went on to win Game 7 and at the Championship Parade, Mike Lange took the stage, held up his hand, showed the crowd a bag and proudly proclaimed, “I got the marbles!”

We introduce you to THE SCHOOL YARD. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long. 

This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
