Ispiri, or “it inspires” in Italian, is our finest effort and most prestigious wine. Unconventional in its personality and original in its thinking, this wine follows the old world traditions of the right-bank regions of Bordeaux, where the belief is that intense, bold wines should also have a fruit-forward, elegant side. To achieve this standard of excellence, we focus on mountain and hillside regions of Sonoma County that offer fruit with a unique combination of varietal character and impressive intensity.

Standing as a testament to the intensity and complexity of mountain fruit, this wine started on a quiet Sonoma ridge overlooking the Alexander Valley below. With vineyards averaging over 1,500 feet, sitting precariously along the Mayacamas Mountains, the warm days are long, the nights are cool and the grapes are impressively intense—and small. These diminutive grapes are what we look for as they offer less pulp and more concentrated flavors that explode on the palate.

Already recognized as one of the finest Burgundian regions in the world, the renowned Russian River Valley is at the center of the Pinot Noir explosion. However, there is a dirty little secret. With the increase in demand, over zealous wineries planted Pinot Noir vines in some areas that may not be…perfectly ideal. We believe we know these micro-climates where the varietal not only thrives, but achieves its ultimate potential. Meaning, the elegance is perfectly in harmony with the complexity. It’s a wine that has a unique sophistication and grace. Our Winemaster has the expertise and knowledge to embrace what the grapes are offering and neatly wrap this perfect harmony for your ultimate indulgence.
