Vinous

Josh Raynolds, October 2018 (Vintage 2016)

Brilliant red. Spice-accented raspberry and cherry accents along with hints of woodsmoke cola and Asian spices. Silky and energetic on the palate offering appealingly sweet red berry and floral pastille flavors that deepen slowly as the wine opens up. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to an impressively long mineral- and spice-laced finish that shows excellent clarity and repeating florality.

James Laube, August 2018 (Vintage 2016)

A graceful, supple expression of Pinot Noir, with fleshy tannins and a core of juicy plum and berry flavors shaded by cedar, anise and spice notes, ending clean and pure. Drink now through 2024.
