Very rich, extra-ripe fruit flavors fill out this full-bodied wine, getting support from mild tannins and ample baking spices from French barrels for a broad, rounded texture.

Very minerally and fresh-tasting, with light spicy accents to red currant and dried raspberry flavors that are crisp and focused. Slate and graphite accents on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 1,022 cases made.

The Anderson Valley-based 2019 Pinot Noir Grand Reserve offers a solid, nicely fruited, medium-bodied style that has attractive black cherry fruits as well as licorice, toasted spice, and earth. It has plenty of classic Pinot Noir character and should keep for a couple of years.
