Fiancetto - "Redwood Ridge Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2024

Fiancetto’s sourced this brillant Pinot from the Redwood Ridge Vineyard, a cool, coastal site tucked among redwoods near the tiny community of Annapolis in northern Sonoma County. Just a few miles from the Pacific, this vineyard lives under the spell of fog, wind, and long, slow ripening seasons. Its Goldridge sandy loam soils—famed for their drainage and minerality—yield concentrated berries with bright acidity and layered flavor. The area is home to some of Sonoma’s most admired growers, including Peay and Putnam, and it’s quietly become one of California’s top sources of intricate, age-worthy Pinot Noir.

Guiding the winemaking is Dan Goldfield, celebrated for his mastery of cool-climate vineyards. His approach with Fiancetto is all about clarity and restraint—allowing the vineyard to do the talking. The result is a wine that’s both vivid and refined: perfumed with red blossoms and wild berries, unfolding on the palate with juicy cherry, fine spice, and a polished mineral edge. The 2024 vintage delivered near-perfect growing conditions, producing Pinot with exceptional balance, focus, and energy. Fiancetto captures all of it—a Sonoma Coast Pinot that bridges California’s expressive fruit with Burgundian finesse. This is a wine built for those who love elegance without pretense—a bottle that feels at home at dinner on a Wednesday but could just as easily impress on a Saturday night shared among collectors.
