The six-acre Rice-Spivak Vineyard, located southwest of the town of Sebastopol, was planted in 2000. Given its location and low elevation, it receives a near daily dose of cool air from the Pacific Ocean. The vines produce small clusters with tiny berries of extremely intense, aromatic fruit, which show through beautifully in the glass. This is one of the most distinctive single vineyards we make and a crowd-pleasing favorite.

Jeb Dunnuck Review:
Spicy and brooding, the somewhat more full-bodied 2021 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak Vineyard remains pure and light on its feet, while pouring a saturated ruby, with woodsy aromas coaxing from the glass of pine sap, black raspberry liqueur, and violets. This continues to the palate, with grounding notes of fresh soil and ripe tannins, a savory and gripping profile, and a weightless mineral texture with a lingering presence of petrichor and wet asphalt. It's an age-worthy and fantastic wine from winemaker Noah Dorrance. Drink 2024-2036.
