 Extended Family has always been a Pinto Noir.
A grape that has become a staple of our Extended Family. 
We cant grow Pinot on our property; it is just to warm for the thin-skinned grape. You see Pinot needs a particular environment to develop correctly. We could plant Pinot on our property, but it just wouldn't succeed. Think of Pinot as a child. Sure you could make your youngest be just like your oldest, but they would never reach their highest potential. However, only a few miles from us is one of the exceptional pinot growing regions in the world: The Sta. Rita Hills.
This grape has become part of our family like the cousin that visits for the summer. We treat it just like family, taking it in and instructing it in the family way. I like to put photos of our extended family on the bottle. Here you find Ring and Effie, my great-grandparents. Relaxing in their home in Oregon on my great-uncles dairy. Feet up and enjoying the afternoon. That is what pinot is about. Pop a bottle and love the one you're with. 

It is a Beautiful Sunday afternoon feet up kind of wine. 
Love this wine. Glad it comes to visit.
