The 2015 Estate Pinot Noir exhibits classic rose petal tones, red and black cherry and currant flavors with spicy notes. This beautifully polished bottling comes together harmoniously with depth and a certain minerality on its long expressive finish. Lovely!
The 2016 Estate Pinot Noir is characterized by the early start and leisurely finish to the vintage resulting in lots of hang time and balanced fruit. Small berries led to ripe flavors in the cellar with more aromatics than the previous two vintages and more elegant tannins. This could be the vintage of the decade. Beautiful!
With its maximum clonal diversity, the 2017 Estate Pinot Noir exhibits ripe cherry and berry fruit mingled with pretty rose petal and spice aromas and flavors. Polished and elegantly textured with vibrant acidity and a juicy mid-palate and flavors that soar on a long finish accented by hints of toasty oak.
The 2018 Estate Pinot Noir is a blend of 12 clones from our vineyard. Refined, rich and impressively structured, displays a wide range of aromas and flavors of ripe dark plums and wild cherries with delicate floral notes that build toward a long and dynamic finish with refined tannins.
