"The 2024 Pinot Noir (Mendocino County) presses out layers of dark cherry, incense, graphite and chalk in a slightly somber, brooding frame. It pulls tight on the powdery finish, leaving behind an echo of herbs and a chewy sensation. This young wine needs some time to reveal its charms, but the elements are in place."

"This fresh and medium-bodied wine is complex and intriguing, with appealing aromas of redwood forest, rose petals and grilled herbs. Wild berry flavors integrate with juicy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Notes of bergamot and herb tea linger in the long finish. Good value. Drink now."

"Black tea, dried red cherry, orange peel and dusty florals open beautifully as the 2023 Pinot Noir (Mendocino County) coasts across the palate. Savory herbs and white pepper nuances from the 15% whole clusters add further complexity as gentle tannins perk up on the finish. It™s an excellently balanced, supple, mid-weight Pinot that vastly overdelivers at its $28 price point."
