Notes on the Wine
This Pinot pours a dark ruby in the glass, a nod to the Petaluma Gap intensity of fruit. Aromas and flavors of ripe melon, fresh flowers, and cinnamon stick mix with a savory elegance of black tea leaves and forest floor.
Making wine from Roberts Road Vineyard is all about showcasing the site through the perfect blend of clones. We combine Pommard, 115, and 777 in a co-fermentation to fully express the flavor of this windswept Petaluma Gap vineyard. Barrel aging on lees for 15 months develops the aromatics, rounds the mouthfeel, and harmonizes the wine.

Kevin himself spends countless hours working closely with his Winemaker, Garrett Martin, and team, to perfect the flavor and balance of each and every release. He takes the time to study the fruit, experiments with new blends and meticulously monitors the fermentation process ensuring the ideal conditions throughout production. Adobe Road knows the importance of nurturing its relationships with California’s most renowned and passionate growers. It is this attention to the details that brings out the personality and character of the wines and has garnered so many awards with prominent wine publications and industry competitions throughout the years.
