San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir

Inviting nose that takes a short while to open up. Fresh red fruit character of pomegranates and bing cherries. Slight undertone of forest floor and baking spice. Medium bodied and bright, clean acidity.

The most aromaticly available baby hirsch every

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)

Dark cherries and pepper. Needs to sleep while but gonna be tremendous.

Very high acid. Needs a few more years to mellow

We enjoyed

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.

😐

Love the nose on this one, blackberry jam crossed with a field of wild flowers...awesome!!
