This 2021 Pinot Noir is a standout expression of the Sonoma Coast, crafted by Thomas Rivers Brown from his 14-acre estate near Annapolis and two southern sites near Occidental—Riddle and Joy Road Vineyards. The coastal freshness of the Aston estate fruit combines with the deeper, brambly notes from the grower sites, creating a Pinot with both lift and mid-palate richness. Now in its fourth vintage under Brown’s sole ownership, this wine reflects his focused commitment to Pinot Noir. Originally co-founded with Fred Schrader in 2001, Aston is now entirely Thomas’s vision.
