A nose of mesmerizing notes of wild strawberry with hints of blood orange and watermelon rind. On the palate, shimmering red fruit with underlying poise and depth.

Lush aromas of poached strawberry and cherry liqueur make for a hedonistic opening to the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate lands beautifully, offering ripe strawberry, pomegranate and candied cherry flavors, yet it sports a relatively light, acid-washed frame that allows accents of mace, star anise and cardamom to shine through.

Intense flavors of dried blackberry and dark currant are backed by firm acidity and tannins in this powerfully ripe version. Forest floor notes join hints of black licorice and baker's chocolate on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 488 cases made.

Aged 19 months in 41% new French oak, the 2017 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is medium ruby in the glass and youthfully shy on the nose, slowly offering rose petal, crushed stone, fresh cranberries and Bing cherries. It's light to medium-bodied, perfumed and elegant with a gentle, grainy frame and fantastic juicy freshness to lift the finish. This feels youthfully closed or like I got it on an off day, so my score may look conservative later. 475 cases produced.
