Tasting notes

They only make a Reserve in exceptional years, selecting less than 1% of their Pinot Noir to balance diverse components from the best vineyard blocks. Powerful aromatics of cider apple, pie crust and spiced chocolate introduce a wine equally juicy and earthy, with intense Bing cherry, forest floor and bittersweet chocolate drawn out by robust, dusty tannins on a lengthy finish. Big and structured, and built to improve in the cellar for 20 years and more.
