description
Located a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, this vineyard sits near the tiny town of Annapolis, and is farmed by Steve Campbell. At approximately 750 feet above sea level, it sits right at the boundary of the marine layer, ensuring that the cool, coastal climate delays ripening well beyond the warmer vineyards to the east. The two-decade-old vines grow on sandy, low-vigor Goldridge soil, which helps reduce yields to near two tons per acre.
Hallmarks of dark, concentrated ruby color and intense fruit are a tradition for the Campbell Ranch Pinot. The wine showcases cherry liquor, coastal herbs, rose petal and citrus peel on the nose, fanning out on the palate in flavor and texture while remaining focused, precise. Upon pulling the cork, it is expressive and, like most of our wines, with even more air this impactful, lengthy wine changes into a more ethereal and perfumed Pinot that glides on the palate. The 2018 Campbell Ranch embodies the character of the northern Sonoma Coast/Annapolis AVA, and this site in particular.
