2018 Canfield Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our Vintage 2018 Canfield Vineyard Pinot Noir is a classic expression of this unparalleled estate vineyard at the southern end of the Russian River Valley. Cold, windy and close to the coast, this vineyard offers an exquisitely structured, expressive wine with incredible depth. Herbal, wild berry and dusty chocolate characteristics on the nose lead to plush blackberry and strawberry on the forefront. Savory and earthy, the palate fills with notes of cedar, peppercorn, peat moss and black tea. Expressive throughout, the finish lingers with just a touch of fruit and sage.

This medium-bodied wine is layered in dark cherry, strawberry and tea, with a grip of powerful tannins. It finds balance and complexity in accents of toasted oak, cola and baking spice, and is rich and rewarding to the end.

Rose petals, raspberries, currants, lemon zest, spices and sandalwood on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek tannins and fresh acidity. Succulent and spicy. Hot stones on the finish. Drink or hold.
