Joaquinite is a rare gemstone found in a remote mine deep in the rugged mountains of San Benito County. It is found often alongside the also extremely rare Benitoite and Neptunite. We utilize Pinot Noir from the historic Gimelli Vineyard (aka El Gabilan) in the heart of the limestone (calcite) laden Cienega Valley. These alkaline soils, and strong diurnal shift from the warm day/cold night dynamic that allow the grapes to both ripen and retain freshness. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir from two different vineyard blocks planted in 1997.
