The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate sees 25% new oak, with 25% whole cluster inclusion, and pours a jeweled ruby hue. Super expressive on the nose, with notes of framboise, wild herbs, rosemary, and dusty earth, the palate takes on more iron richness in its texture and profile, with ripe fruit and tannins and an even spine of acidity. It will do well over the next 8-10 years. It retains wonderful purity but has the stuffing to last. 1500 cases produced.

A compelling, multilayered red, with lilting raspberry and cherry flavors that expand to reveal fresh violet and earthy mineral accents, which build tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032. 1,698 cases made.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate slowly evolves in the glass: a gorgeous magenta with a complex blend of wild strawberries, raspberries, rosemary, sage and crushed rocks create a seductive bouquet. This balances silky, refined textures with crisp wild berries and tactile mineral tones, all guided by brisk acidity. Violet inner florals resonate throughout as the 2021 finishes grippy, long and wonderfully balanced, leaving a primary concentration and edgy tannins.

Boysenberries and savory roasted meat aromas are quite a one-two punch. Touches of worn leather and orange peel are mere bonuses. The tannins of this wine are grippy, providing a bit of chewiness to the texture. Red raspberries and cherries meld with flavors of strong black tea and a trace of wet slate.
