On the palate strawberries and lush summer fruits combine with sanguine notes, as well as delicate over-tones of tea-rose, mushroom and Earl Grey. Bright minerality, dusty tannins, cherry cola and rose petal linger on the palate to provide a fresh yet multi-faceted finish to this partial whole-cluster Pinot.
Full Wine Enthusiast review (Jim Gordon): This dusky, complex and well-balanced wine from a ridge-top vineyard offers a profusion of flavors from black tea to dark plum to roasted cherries. These get great structure from moderate tannins and vibrant acidity, indicating a long life in the bottle. Best from 2026–2032.
