The Joy

This bright and summery wine springs to life in the glass with a gentle pink blush meeting light salmon hues. Aromas of strawberry and raspberry fruit are lifted with helpful confections of cotton candy and cherry, balancing the palate with a zippy, citrus, mouthwatering feel. Also showing up are undertones of lavender and jasmine! The texture continues to be the perfect balance of finesse, and flesh, and it’s more than ready to pair with savory seared ahi or grilled shrimp salad with a twist of lemon. There’ll be plenty of options as we move into warm outdoor weather!

Enjoy now and for the next 5 years. 300 cases produced. 100% stainless steel ferment, neutral oak aged for 6.5 months. Sourced from two Dutton Ranch-farmed Sonoma sites: the Sylvia’s Jewell and Geoff Pinot Noir vineyards.

*By request, we also have 'the joy' Rosé 1.5L magnum bottles available this year!

The Love

This Pinot Noir has been a pillar of the Promise portfolio for over 12 years and is continually sourced from the same great rows of the Bucher Ranch in the Russian River Valley. The color is always staring back at you with its deep ruby hue suggesting richness from the start. The nose is fresh, intense, and brooding, offering up aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, plums, and hints of dried herbs, forest floor, with a touch of earthiness. There is 15% whole cluster in the making and 50% new Francois Frères tight grain oak barrels, toasted to a perfect medium plus. Flavors are densely focused with dried cranberry, strawberry preserves, a touch of pipe tobacco and a hint of dancing chocolate savory that carries out the long finish. Made from love, with love, so drink the LOVE!

Enjoy now and for the next 15 years. Aged in 50% new French Oak, native yeast and malolactic, always unfiltered and unfined.  275 cases produced.

Our Winemaking Philosophy

We believe that meticulous farming and cultivation are essential to great winemaking. An overwhelming attention to detail is applied at every step of a vine’s life and throughout every growing season from beginning to end. Once the fruit is harvested, every element is afforded great care: selection, yeasts, crush, maturation, and cooperage, all of which are overseen with great passion. Our style of winemaking looks to find the greatest expressions of each varietal and vineyard. Special focus is given to deliver a perfect blending of balance, complexity and depth. Kirk Venge, a Napa native prodigy, has been the winemaker since 2014.
