IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Continuing a streak of great Sonoma vintages—thanks, Mother Nature!—the 2016 Pinot Noir has some of the delicious fruit and concentration of its ’14 and ’15 predecessors, with the more pronounced earthy character of ’13. Red cherries and dried cranberries spiced with vanilla ride an underlying earthiness out of the glass.

On the palate, the silky texture is framed by firm acidity and a touch of tannin, carrying complex flavors of more cranberries, cherries, earth, and cocoa through a long finish.
