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
"Candied cherries, redcurrants, leafy herbs, and sappy, floral nuances all emerge from the 2023 Pinot Noir Parker West, which was completely destemmed and aged 10 months in 30% new French oak. It's medium-bodied, has a fresh, focused mouthfeel, grippy tannins, and a great finish, all making for an outstanding Pinot Noir that has some upside as well. Drink 2025-2035." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Sanguine lines of rust and iron give an earthy angle to the strawberry jam aroma on the nose of this bottling. The palate's cherry and cranberry flavors are similarly cut with hints of toasted sage and gamy earth elements. Drink now-2039." ~ Wine Enthusiast
