Occasional wine note
We discovered this gem at the 2024 Wine Spectator Grand Tour in Denver and had to add it to our inventory. Rich ripe dark cherries is the centerpiece here, but it's made so much better with a supporting cast of baking spices, licorice, great tannin structure, and a lush mouthfeel from start to finish. Delicious!

Jeb Dunnuck
From their 15-acre estate vineyard, the deep ruby-purple 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is forward with aromas of graphite, black cherry liqueur, and dark spices of anise. Full-bodied but not weighed down, it retains its pure dark fruit through the palate, with ripe tannins and a savory edge that’s quite attractive. It is another wine where its primary fruit makes it quite appealing now

James Suckling
Broad and rich at first sip, yet balanced to a tee. Fragrant red cherries, black cherries and spearmint lead to lively fresh fruit, minerals and appetizing chalky notes on the palate and finish. Braced by acidity, full-bodied but agile and moderate in tannins, it has the structure for further aging.
