"The 2023 Pinot Noir Baker Ranch, from Anderson Valley, is a richer, darker wine in the context of this range. Layers of cola spice, bitter black cherry and incense settle with nice weight on the mid-palate, leading to a chewy, tannic finish that will need some time to soften. Give this a couple of years in the cellar or at least a very long decant, then reap the rewards."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Baker Ranch Vineyard has slowly opening scents of red cherries, cranberries, fennel, mossy bark and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate features perfumed, earth-laced flavors. It™s framed by soft, chalky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, layered finish."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Baker Ranch Vineyard has slowly unfurling aromas of rhubarb, juniper, cracked pepper and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, layered, crunchy flavors framed by chalky tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a long finish laced with citrus and floral perfume."
