Marcy Yoko French (Iwasaki)

Our "YOKO" Pinot Noir is dedicated to Jeff's mother, Marcia Yoko Iwasaki, and is released only in very special years.

Marcy loved Pinot Noir, and of course, Spurlock Vineyards was her favourite. She loved coming from her home in Laguna Beach to visit Jeff, Stacey and Ellie. Marcy truly enjoyed learning about the vineyard, Stacey's horses, growing grapes, and our philosophy of caring for the land and all of its animals.

A wonderful, caring mother to Jeff, a loving mother-in-law and trusted confidante to Stacey, and a devoted grandmother to Ellie, Marcy left many footprints in the vineyard and her presence will always be felt here.

Our 2025 vintage was exceptional, and the grapes were harvested on 14 March 2025, Yoko's birthday. Coincidence? We think not!
