Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The wine opens with scents of dark roses, red and black cherries, wax crayons, and a feather-light sprinkling of spice. The palate is expansive and mouth-coating, exploding with succulent cherries, wild black plums, and raspberries.
The intense fruit concentration is refreshed by lively blood-orange acidity and has an almost airy quality, as it lifts and sculpts. Cherry pip chewiness on the back palate bends to a fine-textured and silky body; buffering fruit-laden tannins to a long, smooth, and refreshing finish."

91 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The 2021 Pinot Noir, classic and expressive, benefits from its south-facing orientation, shielded from direct sunlight, capturing the essence of a cool climate without any green notes. This extended hang time allows the wine to develop balanced layers of complexity. It is fresh and classic, with a medium body that hits a sweet spot at a great price point, truly over-delivering for its price. The wine showcases substantial acidity, adding to its lively character and food friendliness. The wine matured for 11 months in 25% new oak. Just under 8,000 bottles were produced." -AM, 5/9/24
