Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard, matured for 16 months in 69% new oak, is bursting with scents of pomegranate and raspberry preserves, orange peel, licorice, allspice and earth. Medium-bodied and powerful, the palate features concentrated, hedonistic flavors. It has a surprisingly elegant structure of silky tannins and bright acidity and boasts a long, perfumed finish. 672 cases were made.

Vibrant and energetic aromas of dark cherries, red plums and lilacs with fresh rhubarb and seaweed with underlying baking spice notes. Medium-bodied wine with velvety tannins and bright acidity that balances out the palate. Very pleasant crunchiness and lively flavors here. Drink or hold.
