Bodega Thieriot

Vintage Notes

Max and Lexi Thieriot searched all across Sonoma County for their ideal “forever property”. Fate would bring them back to west county and only minutes from where Max grew up, when this ranch came on the market. Purchasing the property in 2013, from a family who had owned it for over 100 years, they had found their perfect home. The ranch features ninety acres of rolling hills, ocean views, oaks and redwoods, and an ideal coastal vineyard site sharing a fence line with Steve Kistler’s Occidental Winery. In 2016, Max and Lexi, with winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown began planting their home ranch and the second generation of Thieriot Vineyards was officially born: Bodega Thieriot.

Winemaker Notes

“A deeper red magenta hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Bodega Thieriot Estate has a fantastic nose with layered depth and a polished feel in its notes of black cherries, black raspberries, fresh leather, violets, and dark spice. The inaugural release of this cuvée, it comes from their newest estate vineyard, planted in 2016 in partnership with Thomas Rivers Brown, located five miles from the Pacific Ocean and the coolest site they work with. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a lot of energy and power, and it’s finessed and long on the palate, with a great finish. It’s my favorite of the 2022s in the Senses lineup and has a lot of life to give over the coming 20 years. It was raised in 20-35% new French oak barrels for 10 months.”
