Las Hermanas Vineyard sits to the west of the Melville Estate Vineyard, just 8 miles from the ocean. It is planted on over six different soil types, all of marine origin. SAMsARA’s four rows of clone 115 Pinot Noir are located towards the top of the vineyard, where it is well-drained and aggressively sloped. -Lily Hays, Director of Hospitality and Education

"Loads of peppercorns, wild thyme, tobacco and pine-needle aromas ride across crisp raspberry fruit on the nose of this bottling by winemaker Matt Brady. Those herbal flavors dominate the palate as well, where wild chaparral tones meet with crunchy cranberry fruit." -Matt Kettmann
