Four vineyards including sandford and benedict. Everything by hand, cement fermenters, some new and some seasoned oak to it. Just shy of 20% new. Has a bit of a pickle juice thing on the nose. No SFB in this bottle in 2020. 2021 has it. Forest floor and a high toned note to it. Some stem and astringency and a touch of bitterness which is apparently the stem but also the Wedneswil clone as well. Mineral on the back.

Light pepper and juicy red fruit on the nose, wet mud, vanilla, and strawberry on the palate with a silky mouth feel and a dry finish that lingers a bit

This one delivers just like the 2019 vintage! Pepper and fresh strawberry jam on the nose. Medium body with tart cherry on the palate and a delicious aftertaste that lingers.

This is a beautiful Pinot. Well balanced, fairly full bodied, classic Pinot notes. Really enjoying!

Oak is a bit more integrated, and developing a bit of tobacco, but otherwise consistent with previous notes.

Aromas of flint and cherry. Ripe fruit, light body, cottony tannins, and bright acidity. Always pleasant, easy drinking.

Always delivers and our go to daily drinking pinot noir. Tons of fruit, although this vintage had a little more alcohol burn to it than past vintages.

Soft and easy Santa Rita fruit, so a bit more cooked in character. More acidity than expected, user friendly.

Decent depth and balance. May have had sugar residue. Has a fruit forward approach but limited ABV.
