The majority of the grapes for the 2019 Complicated Pinot Noir were sourced from the acclaimed Herbert Ranch in Monterey County. This certified sustainable vineyard was planted in 1997 and pushes into the coastal Santa Lucia Mountains on the west side of the Salinas River Valley. Located approximately half-way through the Monterey County AVA, about 50 miles south of the northern end of the County, this site is sheltered from the traditionally strong Salinas Valley afternoon winds by a canyon, thus creating warmer temperatures in comparison to surrounding areas.
