The Santa Cruz Mountains is really an up and coming area for Pinot Noir that produces wines of elegant fruit balanced with natural acidity.  High elevations and cooler climates keep yields super low, which is paramount for maintaining the integrity and the quality of Truett Hurst.

Think of it as classic Pinot Noir, with floral and earthy aromatics, soft tannins, and supportive acidity.  Having said this, we are Truett Hurst and we would be remiss if we didn’t make sure that there was some delicious fruit lingering as well.  It may show up as brighter cherry, raspberry, or at times even a little darker blackberry.  Each year the blend changes a bit, but what’s always consistent is our determination to make an elegant, balanced wine that you can share and enjoy with your friends and family.

One of our favorites things about White Sheep is blending it!  The 2022 comes out of three distinct vineyards, 8 unique blocks, and 6 different clones!  We get our pick, and the diversity of the fruit creates concentration and complexity. Fresh raspberry, tart cherry, white pepper, and cotton candy flood the aromatics.   The palate follows the nose and is super inviting, fresh, and chalk full of ripe fruit.  Palate weight is medium to slightly more elegant, with more notes of Eastern spice and tart cherry.  The finish shows acidity, sweet fruit, and superior length.
