In 1940 Heart O’ The Mountain was purchased by renowned director Alfred Hitchcock. The Hitchcock family used the property as their second home, and entertained Hollywood’s elite at the mountain estate. Reportedly Hitchock wrote the screenplay for The Birds there. Members of the family are still in the Armitage wine club today.
In 1978, the Robert Brassfield family acquired the estate. The Brassfields have taken great care to preserve the historic estate much as it was during Hitchcock’s era and before, so much so that it feels like a trip back in time. The Brassfields produced their own label on the estate for many years until Brandon Armitage and Armitage Wines took over winery and vineyard operations in 2014.
The Heart O’ The Mountain vineyard lies deep in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains on an old estate rich in history and tradition. Planted exclusively to Pinot Noir and sitting 1500 feet above Monterey Bay, the cool nights and warm days create ideal growing conditions. South-facing rows on siltstone and shale soils flow harmoniously with the steep topography and surrounding natural terrain. This wine sees12 months in 25% new French oak.
The nose is vibrant loaded with dark fruit, baking spices and just a hint of tobacco. The palate is earthy and spicy, with dark berry fruit underlying and rounding out the finish, brightened by searing acidity and soft, silky tannins. This is a high quality Pinot that delivers on all levels!
