Trail Marker 2021 Pinot Noir, Saveria Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains

Saveria isn’t just a vineyard—it’s a quiet pulse, fog-wrapped and lifted above the coast. You feel that in every sip.

This opens with crushed cranberry, tomato stem, and a burst of geranium, undercut with wild strawberries, pink peppercorn, talc, and fennel seed—tones that whisper rather than announce  . The palate is lithe and electric, high-acid and light-bodied, with savory undertones anchoring the precision.

The whole-cluster inclusion (66%) and native ferments play into that edge—you taste structure, not weight. The wine is sleek, mineral, and lifted—a Santa Cruz Pinot with slow-burning clarity  .

This isn’t flouncy fruit. It’s Pinot with nerve—coastal fog, sandy-loam tension, and just enough skin and stem to stay rooted in its place.
