Winemaker Notes:Aromatics of savory aromatics of dried herbs and the wild chaparral. Umami on the palate from start to finish. Rich and silky texture with the right amount of weight. The wine presents a core of pure, powerful fruit flavors.

94WINE ADVOCATE

Pale ruby, the 2020 Pinot Noir Rancho la Vina Vineyard has a nose of red and black cherries, mossy bark, mushrooms, tobacco leaves and tones of orange peel and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and very fresh with a core of perfumed fruits that give way to spicy accents sweeping across the long finish.

As to the reds, the 2020 Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina Vineyard was 50% destemmed and brought up in 30% new French oak. It has a beautiful bouquet of spiced cherries, framboise, peppery herbs, iron, and forest floor that carries to medium-bodied, ethereal, elegant 2020 offering ripe tannins and terrific purity.
