Tasting notes
Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Hillside Vineyard has a gregarious nose of boysenberry, blueberry, strawberry and red cherry preserves with accents of bergamot, peppercorn, licorice, cinnamon stick, violet and dusty earth. It's light to medium-bodied and silky with concentrated, spicy fruits, a firm supporting frame and well-woven freshness, finishing very long and very spicy.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Hillside shows off notable freshness and purity of flavors. The Hillside is mostly a wine of textural depth and richness. A whole range of dark red/purplish berry fruit notes open up in the glass, while the aromatics remain less open and less expressive. Readers should expect a Pinot of real power and resonance.
