Tyler La Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

"Fresh aromas of juicy raspberry, blood orange and sweet leather are found in the nose. Mouthwatering flavors of strawberry and pomegranate in the mouth perfectly complement the cinnamon spiced, lively finish." —winemaker

"This is the 17th vintage of Pomarium off 24 year-old vines and the excellent growing season in 2021 resulted in a truly great wine. The aroma combines the floral, earth, and dark fruit character typical of the cuvée. The overall personality is virile and athletic with some muscle and power but considerable finesse. This is not a bruiser or sappy or rich but has depth and volume." —winemaker

"Ferrington Vineyard rests on a gently sloping bench overlooking the town of Boonville in the heart of Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. One of the earliest sites to be planted in this historic appellation, Ferrington boasts some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the region. These old vines produce wines with wonderful complexity and effortless balance. The Anderson Valley in general, and Ferrington in particular, is famous for marrying depth and density with electric acidity, and the 2019 Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir is a perfect example of this. Tangy blue fruit, tart cherry, elderberry, cranberry, and pomegranate notes all contribute to a medley of fruit impressions that evolve slowly in the glass. Notes of black pepper, struck match, and copper penny minerality add complexity." —winemaker
