Overview From one of the highest-elevation vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2023 Ascona Vineyard Pinot Noir embodies both intensity and restraint. Perched at 2,400 feet, the site yields small berries packed with flavor and natural acidity. The result is a mountain Pinot of depth, tension, and graceful longevity — a wine that unfolds slowly in the glass with layers of red fruit, spice, and minerality.
