From Nysa, Luminous Hills and Cherry Grove vineyards. One-third whole bunch.
Transparent crimson. A little taut and nervy on the nose. Lots of acidity. Some spice and life. Still quite youthful.
Robert Parker (95)
Made with about 20% whole clusters, the 2019 Pinot Noir is intensely scented of blackberries and dark red cherries with notes of iron, blood orange, aniseed and cured meats. The palate is concentrated and alluringly broody, with intense, iron-laced fruit. It has a seamless structure, with grainy tannins supporting the full flavors, and it finishes with great length.

Wine Enthusiast (92)
Supple and graceful, with delicately layered raspberry, rose petal and spice flavors that glide along a rich, lovely finish. Drink now through 2029. 476 cases made.
Vinous (92)
Bright ruby-red. Lively, spice-accented red fruits on the nose, along with suggestions of candied rose and smoky minerals. Juicy cherry and raspberry flavors show good depth but no undue weight. The spice and floral notes drive a long, smooth finish that displays discreet tannins and a sweetening hint of cola. 20% whole clusters.
James Suckling (92)
Aromas of crushed berries and dried flowers on the nose follow through to a medium body with fresh acidity and a flavorful finish.
