About the winery · Block Nine ›
Block Nine is based in St. Helena, California. The family started the brand in response to demand for moderately priced California Pinot Noir, aiming to offer smaller-production Pinot Noir at an accessible price. The producer made Pinot Noir for years before expanding into Cabernet Sauvignon. The Pinot Noir tech sheet names Larry Levin as winemaker and notes his UC Davis enology background and experience with several well-known California wine brands.
