Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is light to medium ruby-purple in the glass and smells of crushed blueberries, ripe black cherries and black berries with accents of violet, lilac, forest floor, woodsmoke and cola—a very pretty, elegant nose. Light to medium-bodied and silky textured, it offers concentrated layers of fruit and spice lightly framed by soft, silken tannins and wonderful juicy freshness, finishing very long and energetic. 307 cases produced.

Deep, glistening red. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes red berry liqueur, cherry, incense and potpourri and subtle vanilla and baking spice nuances build in the glass. Concentrated yet lithe in style, offering intense, spice-tinged raspberry, spicecake and cola flavors that are supported by a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes sweet, seamless and extremely long, with a building floral and spice qualities and harmonious tannins that come on late.
More savory and meaty, the 2017 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard offers some whole cluster influence in its aromas and flavors, but it’s beautifully pure and elegant on the palate, with fine, silky tannins. It opens up nicely with time in the glass and has plenty of fruit, good complexity, medium to full body, and a great finish, all making for one seriously good Pinot Noir. It’s approachable today but will be even better with a year in bottle.
