This Pinot Noir from the acclaimed site was produced as an exclusive one-time offering in the 2020 vintage.

Beautifully bright and buoyant, with a lush, generous texture, it is a profoundly satisfying wine and a quintessential expression of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

Wine Enthusiast

Vibrant fruity and woodsy flavors are lifted by an appetizing texture of moderate tannins and snappy acidity in this relatively full-bodied but agile wine. Black cherries and black currants meet nuances of cinnamon and oolong tea for great flavor complexity.
