Brilliant garnet. Powerful spice- and mineral-accented red and blue fruits potpourri and incense on the nose which shows superb clarity and a touch of savory herbs. Vibrant and sharply focused on the palate offering appealingly sweet raspberry boysenberry bitter cherry spicecake and candied rose flavors braced by a spine of zesty acidity. Shows superb definition and floral lift on the persistent finish which is given shape by silky slow-building tannins. -- Josh Raynolds
vPale ruby-purple the 2018 Pinot Noir Old Vines has an alluring perfume of blueberries violets and dark cherries with accents of earth and amaro. The medium-bodied palate offers intense broody fruits framed by muscular tannins and bright freshness and it finishes long and full of flavor. It's still youthfully coiled and may improve with another year or two in bottle.
