Winemaker Darrin Low blends Pinot from two estate vineyards, 83% from Dach and 17% from Walraven, to make the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate, which is nicely perfumed in rose and lavender. Balanced between sweet summer strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry flavors, it offers a hint of baking spice and earthy forest floor around a core of soft, supple tannins and a lengthy finish. The acidity is ample enough to support aging for another 8-10 years.Jeb Dunnuck | 96 JDThis wine is opulent, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, dark plum, orange zest, and notes of dried sage on the nose. The flavors on the palate are boysenberry, Pink grapefruit segments, vanilla cream, red vines, intertwined with dried tobacco, bittersweet chocolate and a dry long finish.

Dark-toned fruit, iron, spice, new leather and licorice are some of the many notes that inform this potent Pinot Noir.
