2019 Annapolis Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our Annapolis Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir captures the terroir of this rugged, mountaintop site in the far northern reaches of the West Sonoma Coast. Beautifully composed aromas of blueberry, cherry and plum are carried through on the silky, medium-bodied palate. Notes of wild berry, fruit leather and strawberry-rhubarb pie are layered with floral undertones and hints of anise and soft, supple leather. Well-integrated oak sweetness characteristics and fine tannins emerge on the mid-palate, persisting through the long, bright, acid-driven finish.
91 Points from Wine Spectator, April 2023
Expressive, with a burst of kirsch and cherry compote notes leading the way, backed by hints of cinnamon and black tea on the racy-edged finish. Drink now through 2028. 250 cases made.
96 Points from James Suckling, August 2022
Orange peel, flowers and sweet berries with wet-earth with cedar undertones. Medium-to full-bodied with a linear focus that leads you way down the palate, with a bright and energetic finish. Firm and fine tannins at the end. This is a serious pinot. Drink after 2024.
