"This fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel." —winemaker

"Sourced from our best-performing blocks of estate-grown Pinot Noir, the Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses and red fruits. On the palate, the wine is quite dense and rich, powerful in expression, with a perfect balance of red and black fruits, dark plum, pomegranate and raspberry, then the nuances of wet stone, savory herbs come through in the lifted lingering finish and velvety texture." —winemaker

This is an elegant and graceful wine with bright acidity, leading to a long and pure finish." —winemaker
"Translucent garnet, the 2019 vintage entices with blood orange, boysenberry, and fresh violets. The voluptuous texture fuses with layered notes of bergamot, wild cherry, crushed pomegranate seeds, and hints of sage. As it moves across the palate both acid and plush tannins are seamlessly integrated, accentuated by a red clay minerality that readily captures our terroir and adds freshness to the gorgeous finish." —winemaker
"Floral & Spice Focused. Lush blackberries, blueberries and turned earth are perfumed with lily of the valley. Rose petal and dark fruits are bright and lithe on the palate." —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
"La Rinconada is simply prismatic—a multifaceted, crystalline encounter with the allure of the Santa Rita Hills. In this bottling we incorporate two distinct vineyard blocks: R25 provides shimmering red fruit, and R22 resonates darker, adorned with tracery of lavender and violet. The resulting wine is concentrated and sonorous; though immediately compelling, it will surely reward patience." —winemaker
