Our Wines

Our Goal

Our ambitious five year plan for releasing our first vintage of complex, Bordeaux-style Estate wine will stay on course. Continuing with our 50 by 50 brand, we are offering The 50 by 50 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016 and The 50 by 50 Carneros Rosé of Pinot Noir 2017 as current releases. Additionally we offer The 50 by 50 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2015 as a specially priced library wine.

The fruit for both wines was grown and harvested at Rodger’s Creek, in the Sonoma Coast AVA helmed by Randy Luginbill and Jonathan Gold, veterans with 30 years of experience. Rodger’s Creek vineyards are 15 years old and were formerly pasture land. The soils are a Kidd stony loam and our grapes came from vines on an approximately 9 percent slope at an elevation of 675 feet.

Why Pinot Noir?

I’m asked quite often why we are launching our brand with a Pinot Noir and a Rosé of Pinot Noir. The answer is quite simply that I love the varietal. You might say I’m a Pinot Noir junkie. It’s true that Pinot Noir would never thrive in Wooden Valley so we went to one of the best locations in California to purchase our fruit where it does thrive – the Sonoma Coast."
