Our first inaugural vintage as Reuling vineyard! The favorable location and microclimate of the Reuling Vineyard enabled our Pinot Noir to develop impressive density and beautiful aromatics. Harvest took place on September 30th, prior to fall rains, and a 12-day native yeast fermentation followed. The resulting wine has aromatics of exotic spice, blue and black fruits as well as a gentle minerality. On the palate this wine has incredible balance. It possesses a soft entry coupled with acidity and has a lush, broad mid-palate with a lingering smooth finish. Let us know your thoughts!

Cherry and cedar and cherry again. Bitter finish with a touch of heat.

Bacon, strawberry, a little heat on the finish but that will go away overtime - I'm hot on it long term, don't love it now ( this young ) even with decanting

Holy cow, loved this wine - even more so having gotten it from Last Bottle. Beautiful roundness with a typical, but well balanced oaky vanilla California Pinot aspect. More blueberry and cinnamon than cola, and really fat, but so enjoyable. Paired with lamb burgers with Humboldt Fog Chèvre and sage-honey butter.
