2021 Pinot Noir Estate - 93 Points

This is a powerful Pinot Noir, beginning with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, alpine strawberry and sage brush on the nose. The palate approaches blackberry and boysenberry flavors, as nutmeg and gingersnap elements add spicy nuances.  — Matt Kettmann

 

2021 Chardonnay Estate - 91 Points

White-pear flesh, fresh melon, lemon verbena and a touch of almond show on the nose of this bottling. The palate picks up fleshy pineapple flavors that are cut by Eureka lemon, with touches of hazelnut lingering on the finish.  — Matt Kettmann

 

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate - 91 Points

Bold aromas of blackberry, toasted herb and fennel draw the nose into this attractive bottlings, which is cut by a crushed-slate minerality. The palate shows much more wood spice, from sandalwood to mahogany, though the blackberry fruit shines through. This will be even better with patience.  — Matt Kettmann

 

2020 Pinot Noir RESERVE - 90 Points

Muddled mulberry, sandalwood and incense aromas show on the slightly dried nose of this bottling. The redwood forest spice aromas are strong on the woody palate, giving an edge to the strawberry core.  — Matt Kettmann
