Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir Little Hill is another stunning wine. Darker cherries, currants, forest floor, spice, and plenty of earthy, floral notes emerge from this beauty, and it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a great mid-palate and building, ripe tannins. It's still youthful and unevolved yet loaded with potential. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy through 2031.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Little Hill has a pale ruby-purple color and is deeply scented of blackberries, mushrooms, loamy earth, iodine and blood orange. The medium-bodied palate is seamless and silky, with dark, earth-laced fruits and a long, spice-laced finish.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Little Hill is fabulous. In this range, it is marked by striking delineation and translucency. Dark red cherry, cinnamon, blood orange and cedar are all laced together. The 2019 is deep and expressive, but not at all heavy. All the elements come together in a dynamic, vibrant Pinot loaded with personality. The clonal blend is Pommard, Rochioli and a Burgundy suitcase clone.
