Adrian Fog
Adrian Fog was born from the idea that Pinot Noir should have a sense of place and that the vineyard is the birthplace of great wine. All of the wines are sourced from vineyards selected for their individuality. By hand selecting cool climate fruit from small vineyards, Adrian Fog is able to maintain the unique signature and personality of the vineyard. Each vineyard is selected by considering the effect of coastal fog patterns, clonal differences, age and vine orientation to the sun. Picking, fermentation and barrel aging are done by keeping all clones and blocks separately. Pinot Noir bottlings are determined by the wine's individuality, our largest bottling is 330 cases and the smallest is 23 cases. Picking, racking, and bottling are scheduled as close to the night of the full moon as possible. The owners have found that she (Adrian Fog) likes and enjoys the effects of the lunar cycle. They encourage you to drink Adrian Fog on the night of a full moon to enjoy her full seductive essence. Annual production is 1,000 cases. The wines are sold through a mailing list with some retail distribution.
