Tasting notes
Medium ruby, the 2016 Pinot Noir Sierra Madre Vineyard gives up baked cranberries, red and black cherries, oolong tea leaves, tar and earth with meaty touches. It’s medium-bodied, silky and concentrated in the mouth with an earthy profile, textured by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness and finishing long on a red berry note. 485 cases produced.

Aged 15 months in 54% new French oak, the 2016 Pinot Noir Sierra Madre Vineyard has a ripe, broad, and expressive bouquet of black raspberries, toasted spice, and dried flowers. Broad, rounded, and beautifully textured, it's one of the more approachable, supple, and textured reds in the lineup. Drink it over the coming 5-6 years.
Deep, bright-hued red. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, vanilla, exotic spices and rose oil, with a smoky mineral nuance emerging as the wine opens up. Juicy, focused and impressively concentrated, offering intense raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors that become livelier on the back half. Delivers a suave blend of power and finesse and finishes very long and sweet, with fine-grained tannins lending shape and closing grip.
