This has such ripe red-cherry pinot fruit aromas, as well as
forest wood and a swathe of deep-set spices. The palate carries such plush red
and dark-cherry flavors in a long, fresh and energetic mode. Commanding Pinot
with such impressive poise. (6/2021)

Shimmering ruby-red. Ripe red and blue fruit, lavender and
exotic spice scents take on smoky mineral, licorice and cola nuances with air.
Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering juicy boysenberry, cherry pie, cola
and allspice flavors supported by a core of juicy acidity. The spice and floral
notes repeat emphatically on the long, detailed finish, which is framed by
smooth, late-arriving tannins. One-third whole clusters and 40% new French oak.

The biodynamically farmed grapes bring layered and detailed
flavors. Raspberry purée adds intensity to the fruit, with accents of toasted
grain and lemon. Some 30% of the ferment included whole clusters, and 40% of
the wine was barreled in new French oak. The long, drying finish adds
highlights of chamomile tea. *Editors' Choice* (PG) (12/2020)
