The Home Block is three acres on the Iron Horse Estate on an east facing slope, planted to the Calera clone. As the name suggests, it lies adjacent to the home of Iron Horse founders Audrey and Barry Sterling. It is the most sheltered vineyard block on the home place.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The color is deeper and more intense than our other Pinot Noirs from the same vintage, maybe due to its eastern facing slope. By nose, burnt orange peel, roasting herbs and preserved plums. By mouth, soft tannins, a complex mix of fresh berries and dried and preserved fruit with some anise and cassis.
