Notes from Crowley Wines:

"Crowley Wines was founded in 2005 with a focus on transparent, terroir-driven winemaking. Starting at the source, we favor older clones of Chardonnay Wente and Draper and the classic Wadenswil and Pommard Pinot noir clones due to their late ripening nature and acid retention.

We work with family owned vineyards and prefer cooler, high elevation sites. Our friends and growers are committed to non-irrigated and low impact farming. We are members of the Deep Roots Coalition and our primary vineyard sources are LIVE certified or certified organic. In the winery our highest priority is to create the most direct evidence of both vintage and place while making elegant and exciting wines. This means (wine geek alert!) minimal acid additions, no extraction enzyme, employing native yeasts, extended aging in mostly neutral oak and minimal fining or filtration. We value purity of expression over stylized wines and hold essential the belief that we cannot improve on nature."

About the cuvee:

"La Colina was the very first vineyard we worked with in 2005 and we’ve proudly grown our holdings within this beautiful Dundee Hills site. LaColina was planted in 1999, is dry-farmed and is planted to our favorites Pommard and Wadenswil Pinot Noir. Over time we have witnessed this vineyard mature aromatically and in stature as it has quietly become 21…old enough to drink! A cornerstone vineyard for the winery it continues to deliver exceptional fruit for both our blended bottlings and a single vineyard bottling. The vineyard is farmed and managed by our good friend George Hillberry."
