The famed Manchester Ridge Vineyard lies "in the sky" of Mendocino Ridge AVA, a non-contiguous appellation celebrating high elevation plantings near the coast. Here, the coastal sun ripens these Pinot Noir vines slowly and fully while the ocean breezes keep the nights cool and allow for impeccably balanced finished wines. Poe is a notorious supporter of this site where they source Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
After being inspired by the wines she tasted in Burgundy and Champagne, Samantha set out on her own. The goal is not to replicate Burgundy, but rather create alluring, vineyard specific, age-worthy wines revealing the beautiful terroir of California. There is minimal intervention, judicious use of sulfur, and never any additives in the winemaking process. Each wine is made in very limited quantities, and sold directly from the winery and to high-end restaurants around the country. Ultraviolet is a relatively new project setting out to celebrate classic grapes made in throw-back styles to offer enticing and affordable examples to new wine drinkers.
