The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate San Andreas Fault is bright and beautifully lifted in the glass. Crushed red berry, mint and white pepper give the 2018 striking aromatics presence. Medium in body, nervy and finely delineated, the 2018 has a lot going on. I would give it a few years to soften, as the tannins are a bit fierce today. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner perfume and a real feeling of finesse that will only grow with time. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

12.9%. Cherry in a bottle. Morello cherry. Almost over the top cherry. This needs to settle down. Crushed marble, fine tannins. Good acidity. So tasty! At the moment a little to linear and not complex. Over time the cherry should fade a little and then the wine should be awesome.

Dark raspberry red; nose of red berry with hints of sous bois; the medium-bodied palate of more red berry is a bit crunchy in texture but may evolve in time.
