“Spiced red fruits (cranberries, strawberries), new leather, and some sappy violet and floral notes all emerge from the 2022 Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina, a medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has solid overall balance, some spicy, nicely integrated background oak, ripe tannins, and beautiful overall balance. It's an elegant, layered, incredibly well-made Pinot Noir in 2022 to drink over the coming 7-8 years or so.”
“Quite rich, broad and spicy, with oodles of black fruit and a generous texture. Strawberries, red cherries and oak spices are complex and layered. Full-bodied but gentle in mouthfeel. Drink or hold.”
“Stewed boysenberry aromas meet with baking spice, shiitake and truffle elements on the dynamic nose of this bottling. The palate picks up black cherry and sandalwood flavors that are brushed in a savory kick of soy sauce.”
