Description

Our single vineyard and small lot releases enable us to deliver some of our finest expressions of Pinot Noir by concentrating on specific vineyards, clonal selections or techniques. The Parker West vineyard is a dynamic site planted in sandy soils on a windswept hillside several miles from the cold Pacific Ocean.

This Pinot Noir exhibits a true sense of place offering forward dark cherry, raspberry and floral notes supported by attractive mineral and spicy notes. This is a structured Pinot Noir that retains elegance and gracefulness due to bright natural acidity.

Wine Critic Reviews
"a big, spicy, meaty nose of mulled red and black fruits, toasted nuts, pepper, and underbrush nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, brings tons of fruit, has sweet tannins, and a great finish." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Hearty boysenberry aromas are leveled by charred game, turned loam and crushed black rocks on the nose of this bottling. The palate grows fresher in style, with lots of berry flavors that are enhanced with dried meat and bay leaf touches." ~ Wine Enthusiast "A bright, crunchy style, with plenty of energy to its mix of raspberry and mulberry fruit, liberally laced with singed sandalwood and chaparral accents. Offers a zip of blood orange zest through the finish. Drink now through 2030." ~ Wine Spectator "...bright, effusive and nuanced. Crushed flowers, mint, red berry fruit and orange peel are nicely lifted. A dollop of whole clusters adds aromatic nuance. The nervy style is quite typical of wines from the western side of the appellation." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
