2023 vintage. Super youthful but the best Clay Court I’ve had. Light-medium body with good length of finish and ample spice résumé. 05.21.25.

Juice bomb filled with cherry and cassis upfront rounding out to a really lovely and lingering light spice finish. Was great start to finish. Clay court vineyard is in the Chehelam Mountain area with east facing slopes and red Jory soil.

Vogt's choice tonight.....one of the biggest Pinots I've ever had....perfect style for a Cab lover. Deep purple color, cherry, raspberry jam, chalky tannins, dense, with a long finish. A touch of acidity that should mellow with age.
