Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby. Expansive, spice-tinged black raspberry, kirsch and boysenberry scents are complicated by suggestions of incense, pungent flowers and smoky minerals. Alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering densely packed red and blue fruit preserve, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that deftly balance weight and delicacy. Shows superb finishing cut and lift on the wonderfully long finish, which features polished tannins and reverberating blue fruit, floral and spice notes.

The 2019 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace opens with graphite and earth aromas that segue to scents of briary fruits, peppered meats, blood orange and dark spices. Finely silty and super fresh, it boasts concentrated, layered fruit and a very long finish with a flourish of savory accents.
