This wine was produced with a clear goal: to make straight-forward, food-friendly pinot noir. Minimal intervention is used in the cellar and a touch of new oak is used, making for an unadulterated expression of this classic, easy-drinking California red.

Four generations have passed since the return voyage to their homeland of this young Italian immigrant family for a holiday. The youngest daughter, Daniela, fell in love with a steward on the vessel that set sail to Italy. His name was Bodan. Daniela and he never returned but wed instead and soon after had two children, Bodan and Roan.
