“A distinctive earthy, meaty streak gives extra interest and personality to this medium-bodied and moderately tannic wine made from California heritage clones. From the steepest part of this coastal vineyard, the grapes give up red cherries, cranberries, orange tea, beef jus and floral notes that are complex and compelling. Drink or hold.”
“This richly structured coastal Pinot displays aromas of roasted cherry, raspberry liqueur and cedar on the nose. The palate brings layers of barrel spice and earth in a concentrated framework. This wine is built for aging, so give it a bit of time in the cellar and enjoy with hearty fare.”
