Shimmering red. Smoke- and spice-accented cherry, raspberry and blueberry scents are complemented by suggestions of savory herbs and pungent flowers. Shows very good depth as well as energy to bitter cherry, black raspberry and espresso flavors that take a sweeter turn through the back half. Dusty tannins frame the persistent finish, which leaves cherry pit and fresh bay notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2022)

Just gorgeous—maybe my favorite yet from Kelley Fox. The old vines, elevation and pacific breeze of this site clearly contribute to an incredible elegance and transparency. Vibrant strawberry, rhubarb and black cherry with spice, forest floor and tilled soil. I don’t have enough experience to know how high end wine ages under screw cap but honestly it’s in a great place right now.

Black cherry, raspberry, mossy earth, currant, licorice and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Wow, what a bouquet, showing crushed cherry and strawberry mixed with wild herbs, yellow florals and crushed stone. It continued to open more and more over time. On the palate I found youthfully lean textures with tart black cherry, bitter herbs, zesty acidity and savory mineral tones. The finish was long hinting at bitter herbs and tart cherries.

Nicely light, incomprehensibly aggressive.

Tasty! Incredible aromatics and a somewhat light vintage but full of flavor. Great logo!

Oh, for the USA to enable such amazing #PinotNoir wines like this...but oh so rarely. This woman has the magic touch.
