Bodega is a hillside monopole vineyard just a few kilometres from the cool ocean, facing Bodega Bay between Freestone and Occidental villages. Morning fog from the coast engulfs the vineyard; a tiny parcel of less than 2 acres is dedicated to this bottling. Bodega is the oldest metre by-metre planting on the Sonoma Coast. It has pungent floral aromas, turned earth notes, ripe blue bramble fruits, white pepper spice, and clove. The palate balances elegance with a feral streak. Forest flavours of damp pine needles and streaks of crushed graphite envelope a ripe core of blue huckleberries and red raspberries.  Delicious, with ample structure and brilliant lift. (Tasted from bottle 05265.)
