Heading north from Calistoga towards Knights' Valley you might notice an obscure mailbox to a small house tucked against the steeply rising hillside. If you blink it'll be missed. What is not to miss is the wines this family is producing. Every single wine, there's over a dozen, now boasts 90+ points.
This is a fun, delicious Pinot Noir off which I never tire.
A central theme of sturdy minerality surrounded by fresh fruit on one side, cherry/raspberry and soft, dried herbs on the other. A delicious dance of pure balance. Y3 is a great way to prepare the palate for an evening of sophisticated tasting. Enjoy!
