Ruby red color with aromas of red fruit, herb spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with dried herb notes, vanilla and toasty oak. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fresh fruit, spice, floral and earthy tones. Good now!

The 2021 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is laced with crushed red berry fruit. Spice, tobacco and mint are some of the notes that grace this expressive, nuanced Pinot. The 2021 was done with fully destemmed fruit, but there is a sense of savoriness here that is quite attractive. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

This 21 was better than expected. Was gifted to me and went perfectly with some casual carry out Chinese appetizers. Soft and spicy with gorgeous fruits not too tart and not flabby.

Hardly any tannins. Awesome and powerful flavor burst.

Fresh and easy to love, this Pinot hits with bright notes of red plum, strawberry, and a touch of sage and leather on the nose. The palate brings cranberry, raspberry, and a splash of cherry compote, with hints of lavender and rose petal peeking through. Smooth tannins and just enough spice on the finish make this a great weeknight Pinot that still feels special. Cheers!
