We’ve been working with growers out on Guntley Road since 2006. The attraction has been its far west, marginal microclimate—equal parts marine and rainforest. Abel enjoys a prime “mid-slope” elevation ringed by redwoods and lorded over by a tumble-down red barn. There is a piercing quietude to the place that feels deep end. Something special happened out here in 2018, enough so to make us want to better understand the site and to render a wine that was even more essentially of the place. In 2019 we selected a different vineyard block, made an extra trip out there to green harvest our rows, and ended up with a follow-up bottling we are proud of. Abel shows a wild, alpine strawberry quality that we've never seen before in AV Pinot.
