Cool climates and distinctive soils - what the Russian River Valley is known for - is what CIRQ knows best. Estate Pinot Noir from Michael Browne.
It is difficult to make Pinot Noir inexpensively, especially if your goal is world-class Pinot Noir. It is capital-intensive, the horizons are long and the results can be unpredictable. We knew that going in. Our vision for CIRQ first took shape several years ago when we discovered what we consider to be the best sites in the best region for Pinot Noir, the Russian River Valley. We made the commitment at that time to pour all our resources into developing these sites. We bring a high level of focus to the task. We farm two estate vineyards and will produce a single estate Pinot Noir from each. Production will be extremely limited for the simple reason that CIRQ is an estate-driven program. We’ve done this with one goal in mind: to provide enthusiasts with wines of uncommon breeding that delight their senses and connect them to these special places.

Harvest is in full swing at CIRQ-CHEV. We’re processing Garys’ whole cluster fruit from the Franscioni & Pisoni families — my 20th vintage here since 2005, along with Rosellas.
Our Santa Lucia Highlands fruit from these families has always been among my favorites, year after year. The only way to get the proper amount of juice in a whole cluster fermentation without damaging the stems is to gently press with your feet. It takes time and patience.
