Tasting notes
Vivid red. Mineral- and spice-tinged aromas of fresh red and blue fruits are complicated by hints of licorice and musky earth. Clean and racy on entry, then deeper in the midpalate, offering bitter cherry, raspberry and boysenberry flavors with a sweetening touch of candied flowers. Subtle tannins come up slowly on a shapely, finely etched finish that lingers with impressive, floral-dominated persistence. There's only 12.8% alcohol here.

Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills has a lovely open nose of warm cinnamon stick, cranberry and baked red cherry pie with black tea leaf and potpourri spice. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with warm red fruit and layers of baking spice, earth and mineral—dried leaves, oolong tea, warm earth—with a good frame of fine-grained tannins and plenty of juicy acidity, finishing long and spicy. 550 cases produced.
