A Central Coast Pinot Noir made from fruit grown near the Pacific, where cold marine air and ancient seabed soils keep the grapes fresh through a long ripening season. Fossil Point — named for a rugged headland not far from the winery where fossilized whale bones have been found — is the Edna Valley sister project to Center of Effort, sharing its dedication to low-intervention winemaking. Hand-harvested, fermented in small lots, and aged in neutral and once-used French oak, this is a Pinot built for the table rather than the cellar: bright, juicy, and full of varietal character.
