Tasting notes
Shimmering magenta. Mineral-accented fresh red berries, sandalwood, exotic spices and rose oil on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose. Alluringly sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering vibrant cherry, raspberry, allspice and floral pastille flavors, along with a hint of blood orange. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing with resonating spiciness, smooth tannins and superb, floral-driven persistence.

Although the harvest window was marked by episodes of rain, the 2019 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is exceptional, offering particularly pure, bright red fruit and a stony mineral character. Its aromas unfurl very slowly, segueing from flint to raspberry and pomegranate liqueur, then on to wafts of charcuterie, gravel dust and soaring floral perfume. It’s devastatingly delicious, flooding the mouth with highly perfumed, highly concentrated red-fruit flavors. Despite its depth, its silky tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity offer a sense of weightlessness, and it has a very long, kaleidoscopic finish.
