In the Santa Cruz Mountains, the site does most of the talking. Saveria sits in the hills just a few miles from the ocean, farmed by the same team behind benchmark sites like Lester and Trout Gulch, and Kristie Tacey's job here is mostly to stay out of the way. The fruit was hand-picked and sorted, fermented with native yeast with a portion of whole clusters, then aged sixteen months in neutral French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. The result is classic coastal Pinot Noir: fragrant, finely etched, built on tension rather than weight. If you want proof that California still has something new to say about Pinot, start on this ridge.
