To keep things interesting, we also produce an awesome line-up of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, vibrant coastal Chardonnays, mouth-watering Rosé, bold & brawny Cabernets and exciting reds like Carignan and Cabernet Franc from Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino Counties, and beyond.

If you have enjoyed our Marine Layer Pinot Noir, think of El Pino as its wilder, darker sidekick. We love working on these blends simultaneously, selecting the more delicate barrels for Marine Layer and the more robust for El Pino.
Elegant yet structured, with a broad, soft palate and medium body. Reminiscent of the terroir-driven Syrahs of the Northern Rhône, this wine displays black cherry fruit, hints of violet and layers of exotic spice.
This is a very delicate Pinot Noir, with a warmly scented nose of potpourri and freshly crushed red berries. In the mouth you will find electric flavors of cranberry, strawberry, anise seed and pomegranate. The finish is long, precise and pleasantly bitter, much like a negroni.
This Pinot Noir takes you on a lovely stroll through an enchanted redwood forest. A very rustic wine with ever-changing aromatics of eucalyptus, rich earth, and a fresh herb garden. Bright flavors of blackberry and black cherry with undertones of dark earth and bramble lead to a soft, lingering finish and a touch of spearmint.
Pretty aromatics of shaded redwood grove, early fall and that first breeze when you know fall is right around the corner. An approachable Pinot Noir with soft, warm flavors of maraschino cherries, oatmeal blackberry muffins, a touch of Dr. Pepper and gummy coke bottles with a brambly, earthen finish and a hint of lemon-lime.

Extremely energetic, nuanced, and focused. Aromas of macerated dark cherries, flowers and spice. A kaleidoscope of mixed, tart wild berries in the mouth with side notes of fresh, wild porcini mushrooms. The finish is full of fine, mouthwatering structure making these bottles empty quickly.
We picture this Pinot Noir being popped open by hobbits as they enjoy a humble beef stew or rich beef bourguignon. Delicate aromatics reminiscent of fall and crisp, crunchy dried maple leaves lead to soft raspberry flavors, autumnal spices and a hint of nutty peanut butter with a tartness on the finish. If you can resist, stash away “my precious”.
Yummy. Pretty aromatics of a shaded redwood grove, early fall and that first breeze when you know fall is right around the corner. An approachable Pinot Noir with soft, warm flavors of maraschino cherries, oatmeal blackberry muffins, a touch of Dr. Pepper and gummy coke bottles with a brambly, earthen finish and a hint of lemon-lime.
