Senses is a story of threes. On the label of a Senses bottle, the second “e” in Senses is rendered with a “3” as an homage to its three founding partners: Christopher Strieter, Max Thieriot and Myles Lawrence-Briggs. It’s probably no coincidence that if you drew a radius on a map that encircled the three Northern California towns of Occidental, Freestone and Bodega, all of Senses’ vineyard sources would fall within it. The area around these towns is now the epicenter for the qualitative surge of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir—and three is the magic number. Get to know how Senses is mastering the art of Sonoma Pinot Noir with James Molesworth’s producer spotlight!
