"This fresh, tangy and nicely concentrated wine is alive with black cherries, sour cherries, orange zest, hints of cloves and pine. Aged in neutral barrels, its medium body and moderate tannins give a great, snappy texture. Certified sustainable. Drink now."

"Peppery herbs and rose petals give way to crushed wild berries as the 2022 Pinot Noir slowly unfolds in the glass. This boasts a juicy, ripe red and blue fruit core accelerated by juicy acidity. It finishes spicy and unexpectedly fresh, leaving hints of tart raspberry that add a pleasant, cheek-puckering tension."

"This is a planet you want to live on. The wine's rich raspberry-jam and lilac aromas make a perfect foil for a meaty note similar to seared steak. Blueberry and candied-rose-petal flavors are joined by an interesting wood note that may conjure up childhood memories of building toy rafts with popsicle sticks. ‡ Michael Alberty"

"A young, snappy Pinot, with vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors highlighted by black tea and dusky spices. Finishes with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032. 23,000 cases made. From Oregon.—T.F."
