Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Josh Raynolds, Aug 2020

Glistening magenta. Highly perfumed aromas of juicy red and dark fruits, incense and candied rose, along with an exotic spice nuance and a touch of smoky minerality. Palate-caressing black raspberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors show sharp delineation and deepen steadily as the wine opens up. Smoothly plays richness off energy and finishes very long and appealingly sweet, with smooth tannins lending shape and grip.

Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Reserve opens with pretty aromas of red currants, crushed black cherries, raspberry and strawberry preserves with notes of garrigue, peppercorn, bergamot and sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied with classically styled, earth-laced fruits, gently chalky and with great freshness on the long finish.

This takes a savory stance and bends in style more towards the Soter estate wines, in terms of having a more reserved style. Dark cherries and spicy oak here with forest wood and a blueberry to red-cherry core of flavor with attractively structured tannins. Drink or hold.
