2015 Pinot Noir Reserve
Reserve, what does that mean anyways? The term gets thrown around lightly, but for us, a Reserve wine has to be something special – or else we won’t make one. Not only does it have to be an impeccable growing season, but the wine must have depth, complexity, typicity and adequate structure and acidity to carry it through aging. In addition to all the quantitative boxes that must be checked, there also needs to be a certain je ne sais quoi – a hard to define quality that makes the wine alluring, compelling, and unique.

Tasting Notes
Dark plum skin purple with a ruby hue. This wine is tightly coiled, but notes of dark spice, crushed granite, and violets are beginning to emerge. The texture of the palate is sublime, with depth, concentration, and length that goes on and on.
