“A solid appellation wine, the dark ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is ripe and sunny with aromas of blackberry, scorched earth, and violets. Full-bodied, with a silky texture, a stony mouthfeel, and notes of toasted cedar on the finish, it’s supple and attractive now and will drink well over the next 3-5 years.” – Audrey Frick

“Bright, with high-toned acidity. A light sprinkle of white pepper settles on dusted rose petals, a strawberry patch, and tobacco leaf. Earthy and spicy, with just the right balance of fruit tones to keep it fresh.”

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Clay Court, grown on volcanic Jory soils, has wonderfully spicy aromas of cinnamon, tea leaves, mossy bark and mushrooms complementing a core of raspberry and red cherry jam. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, spicy fruit. It’s structured by fine, grainy tannins and bright acidity and has a long, bitters-laced finish.” – Erin Brooks
