Auteur 2012 Auteur Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard
“The 2012 offerings appear to be the finest wines Auteur has yet made.”
What makes this wine unique?
Rated 93 Points by Robert Parker The Wine Advocate
Absolutely spectacular, the 2012 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard was made from the two most common Pinot Noir clones planted in Oregon, Pommard (85%) and Wadensville (15%). Aged in 60% new French oak, it shows lots of strawberry and floral notes, and as it hits the palate, more black cherry and raspberry flavors appear. The wine possesses medium to full body as well as terrific freshness, delineation and length. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years. Robert Parker, December 2014
Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
Firm, tight and savory, complex and concentrated, with dried herb and berry flavors, ending with anise and pennyroyal notes. Drink now through 2022. 174 cases made.

Attention-grabbing dense aromatics of reduced raspberry, kirsch, cinnamon stick, jasmine. Bright with finesse and elegance, yet full of rich resinous tannins, layers of svelte blueberry, fresh black cherry and clove. Impressive weight and balance culminates this harmonious wine. Our Sonoma Coast Pinot blends the unique distinctions of the Sonoma Coast influences from Roberts Road Vineyard of southern Sonoma Coast, Labyrinth Vineyard of the cooler region around Russian River and Green Valley’s Dutton Hallberg Vineyard.

Philosophy
The focus on the might and grace of each vineyard creates the signature juxtaposition unique to our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Our small lot wines harness the talent and determination of Kenneth Juhasz's vision, distinct in their preparation and respectful of their place. Blending the distinguishing strengths of tiny high-altitude grown berries, rogue muscular tannins, and a classic mineral vein of ancient coastal soils - this is what inspires us.
Kenneth Juhasz
My father arrived in the United States as a refugee from the Hungarian revolution. His story of survival and freedom taught me early to never let anything stand in the way of my pursuits and to live with depth and conviction. Financing my way through college, I worked in fine wine shops and restaurants, when I saved enough I backpacked around the globe with my twin brother, John. Each experience further fueled my passion for wine and my visits to Europe and specifically Burgundy were life-altering. My pursuit of Burgundian style wines brought me to Oregon’s Willamette Valley where I first began making Pinot Noir, followed by several in New Zealand.
In 2001, I joined the esteemed wine team at The Donum Estate in Sonoma where I continue to consult and began Auteur.
Laura Juhasz
No, I never did milk a cow, but growing up on 40 acres in rural Wisconsin, hard work and perseverance, with humility, were rooted early. After graduating from UW-Madison, my first job was corporate pharma in Portland, Oregon, all was good, the landscape was awe-inspiring, the pay was great, yet I struggled connecting purposefully to my work. Things got more interesting when I met a southern boy at an Irish Pub. We both yearned for work with deliberate intention - work hard, live genuine and be seeded with hope and happiness. During the last 10 years, we have built our journey of Auteur from 75 cases to 2,000 crafted with just as much spirit as our first harvest. We remain beholden to the power wine has to cultivate wonderful friendships, bring warmth to families and many, many smiles to many, many faces. We welcome you to visit us at our historic 1915 California bungalow in the heart of Sonoma - we promise, it's more like visiting an old friend, than visiting a winery.
We invite you to check out our Great Selection of
