Block Nine, an extension of Grayson Cellars, saw the California market drive up prices for Pinot Noir and leave a gap in delicious, still affordable bottlings. They took it upon themselves to fight this, by holding onto their familial values while maintaining a reasonable price point in regards to their winemaking. The Pinot Noir has been selected from the finest regions throughout California, only using the best grapes. The wine is aged in 100% French oak.
