Rich and smooth -- Paraboll is a California-inspired Pinot Noir, crafted from just a few blocks of our estate vineyard. Ripened longer on the vine than our other releases, and aged in a portion of heavy toast barrels, it's soft and supple, but not overdone.

Fermented with wild yeast and bottled unfined and unfiltered, the Paraboll is made with our natural philosophies but offers a different personality from our vineyard site. Think dark berry, plum and chocolatey toast.

As a five-generation Boonville family, words and phrases of Boontling — our local language widely spoken from 1880-1920 — are still used in our households. “Para” is an art term for a deep, cherry-red color and “Boll” or “Bahl” means of excellent quality in Boontling. Put together, this Pinot Noir is a “great red,” sourced from our estate grapes in the heart of Boontling country.

Our Paraboll was crafted with the same care and personal attention as our other Pinots but employing a different ripening schedule and barrel regimen. This wine was given additional hang time before harvest for a darker fruit profile, fermented with 10% whole clusters,
then aged in 57% new French oak for 11 months with heavy and medium-plus toast barrels.
