Grapes grown in the far western edge of CA’s Sonoma Coast at the winery’s Annapolis vineyard, a site with a 900 foot elevation. Beautiful nose with aromas of complex ripe fresh fruits and gentle floral spice. On the palate layered fruit, cherry and raspberry with citrus and green tea notes, spice and honey. Smooth firm tannins, savory on a lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Tasting well now but still has a few years to run.

Full-bodied Pinot, long finish, full of flavor but not overbearing. Very solid Pinot for a cab lover.

Garnet. Cherry, forest floor, herb, light wood. More woody than fruity. Medium+ body for a Pinot, medium dry. Rich complex finish.

Wow. Unmistakably plush and velvety mouthfeel, medium-long finish for a Pinot. Dark rich fruits show through with just the right touch of spice and oak. Impeccable, if you have a chance to try it you definitely should.
