"My father's San Francisco architectural office was also the West Coast office of Frank Lloyd Wright for more than twenty years. My father gave the original dragon sculpture to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1959. It is still on prominent display at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. I took the photograph to the left when I was twelve. "The dragon was originally intended to be a fountain, but Mrs. Wright had the dragon fitted with a propane tank so it could breathe fire. "I created our current package, featuring a stylized dragon, as a tribute to my father, Aaron G. Green. I think he would have loved it."2013 Pinot Noir Our estate bottled Pinot Noir blossoms into a bouquet of spices, starting with clove and ginger, anchored by sweet leather an supple black cherry. The texture is pure cold climate Pinot Noir --sensual and slinky.The Hundred Point name comes from a rocky promontory on the nearby Mendocino coast, where, legend has it, one hundred ships have been wrecked. Only two barrels of our 2012 Pinot Noir were selected for the Hundred Point Pinot Noir blend,so we were able to produce just 50 cases.
