Deep ruby-red. Oak-spiced cherry and black raspberry aromas pick up a smoky nuance with air. Smooth, sappy and focused on the palate, offering subtly sweet red and dark berry flavors that deepen through the back half. Finishes velvety, gently tannic and long, leaving sappy raspberry and cherry notes behind. In a distinctly lush style but this Pinot doesn't lack for energy. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2020)

An easy drink, the good kind of subtle, balance

These are just always a favorite for me. Deep claret color and earthy nose. Smoke and oak over cherry and plum. Enough tannin to hold up to our steak but still a lot of red fruit.

I’m a fan of this producer and the rosé delivers. Ethereal, nice minerality. Some oak and light vanilla notes come in to round it out.
