Trail Marker specializes in cool-climate, low-intervention wines, and this single-vineyard Pinot from the Santa Cruz Mountains is a standout. Grown in the high-elevation, fog-kissed Quink Vineyard, the 2021 vintage is lean, mineral, and full of energy—Pinot Noir with edge, elegance, and a deep sense of place.

Red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry come first, followed by forest floor, black tea, and a hint of clove. The texture is sleek and taut, with fine-grained tannins and electric acidity giving it structure and drive. No flash, no frills—just pure coastal Pinot that rewards attention and patience. Drink with roast duck, mushroom dishes, or anything earthy and soulful. This is the kind of wine that whispers rather than shouts—and says more because of it.

"The 2021 Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains) is a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of the house style. Bright, lifted and wonderfully transparent, the 2021 is all class. Sweet spice and citrus accents complement a core of bright red-toned fruit. Whole cluster accents add layers of nuance. This is such a gorgeous Pinot." —Vinous
