"The 2024 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is delicate and understated. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, new leather, cedar, mint and dried flowers are all laced together. The Russian River Pinot is a bit quiet in this vintage, but that works in its favor."

"This rises from the glass with aromas of rose hips and red tea before a palate whose youthful drive and energy carry bergamot, pure cherries and forest fruit, all sweetly spiced and humming with sarsaparilla. Best after 2026."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is an absolute delight. A burst of red-toned fruit, crushed flowers, mint and white pepper is so alluring. Delicate and medium in body, with lovely Russian River candied red berry fruit, the 2023 is simply exquisite. It™s a fabulous and delicious entry-level wine in this range."
