The WineThis wine checks all the boxes for the controversial "natural wine" category - biodynamic farming (Home Block is part of the famous Filigreen Farms vineyard), low-intervention wine-making, natural yeast fermentation, minimal SO2 additions, no filtering/fining, corks made from sugar cane and domestically-produced, lightweight glass bottles. But aside from all that...
The wine speaks for itself. From the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir, the wine leads with subtle aromas of cherries, raspberries and strawberries and redwood forest spice notes. On the palate look for deeper, darker fruit, a hint of mint and a long pleasant finish. Med body.

Their commitment to sustainability is visible at every turn. Keep an eye on this label - there are a million and one things that can prevent a small label from bursting through and achieving success. This is one I'd watch!
