2020 NOCTURNUM

Nocturnum pays homage to our beloved barn owls that emerge at the fall of night to protect our vineyards. Cool growing Syrah provides structural integrity and inky color whereas the Grenache offers pretty notes of wild strawberry, black raspberry and potpourri.

The Edna Valley was one of the first registered appellations in California and boasts a rich agrarian history. The coastal terrain features varied soil types that are predominantly marine in origin, with ancient volcanic influences. The unusual transverse ranges allows the appellation to open up to the cooling breezes of the Pacific Ocean from nearby Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. The climate is strongly influenced by the ocean providing ideal, temperate growing conditions for Pinot Noir. Early spring warming, mild summer temperatures and late arriving cold fall temperatures and rain provide a long growing season for the development of rich color with concentrated and complex flavors.
