2020 Ashley's Pinot Noir

"Baked mulberry, cracked pepper and smoked meat aromas make for a very complex and inviting nose on this bottling from a vineyard named for the late vintner’s daughter. The cohesive character spreads to the sip as well, where cranberry, cherry, dried herb and peppered charcuterie flavors align." ~ Wine Enthusiast "Offers an alluring aromatic profile of wood spice, mulled tea and sous-bois notes, while racy damson plum and blood orange fruit flavors show nice cut and detail. Reveals a pretty savory echo through the lengthy finish as well. Drink now through 2027." ~ Wine Spectator "...It sports a medium ruby hue to go with a smoky, earthy, spicy bouquet that includes plenty of darker red berries as well as forest floor and underbrush. Straight and focused on the palate, it has present tannins, good overall balance, and solid length on the finish." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "...is attractive, but also on the lighter side for this wine. Bright red cherry, red plum, blood orange, mint, game, cinnamon and rose petal are nicely delineated. There's good energy, to be sure. Ideally, this would have a bit more in the mid-palate." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
