Vineyard Notes: Owned by the Guidici family, and planted and farmed by our Vineyard Manager Charlie Chenoweth, Three Perch is an exciting cool-climate vineyard that we have been sourcing fruit from since 2013. In our search for the best pinot noir sites on the Sonoma Coast, we came across this beautiful, sloping vineyard tucked away in the redwoods west of the town of Occidental. While there, we noticed three black birds perched above the vineyard, watching over the vines—thus the name. The Three Perch vineyard sits at approximately 900 feet elevation in the extreme Sonoma Coast appellation. The vineyard managers have a unique approach of dry farming the vineyards to add nuance and complexity to the grapes.
