2018 Pinot Noir
Ethereal waves of high-toned and aromatic fruit led by supple Bing cherry, juicy strawberry, spiced black raspberry, and rhubarb waft with immeasurably deep yet delicate concentration as hints of pine needle, forest floor, and loose leaf tea reveal beautiful bits of underlying natural charm. Burst of wild lavender and red roses gracefully emerge to expose perfumed floral overtones that playfully intermingle with exotic spice notes of cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, and clove. Subtle suggestions of mushroom and olive provide just a pinch of complex umami while sea spray and sandy earth proudly display glimpses of fresh coastal earthiness. Ever changing and evolving in the glass; revealing a pronounced intensity of aromas that come across as contemplative and complex while remaining thoroughly pretty and elegant. Delightfully smooth and silky on the palate with a presentation led by pristine fruit followed by a wide range of intriguing and delicious non-fruit flavors. Enjoy this wine now or allow it to rest for a decade or more as it evolves in your cellar, where its fruit will gently subside to allow for gorgeous earthiness to shine.
Crafted from a single hand-selected barrel specifically chosen for its outstanding quality.
