Pinot Noir is near and dear to my heart and one of the most difficult grapes to cultivate. She's a feisty grape but when done correctly makes beautiful wine. I came across Optik vineyards through my job and loved their wine.

The Miller family is a multi-generational farming family that has owned and farmed California's central coast for five generations. Joey Tensley, the current winemaker, let's the terroir and wine do it's thing. He wants the vineyard and the unique qualities of the fruit to shine through in the wine.
