The yields in 2015 were HALF of normal, so there's not a lot of wine to go around. But thanks to the low yields, the quality is AMAZING. The wines are INCREDIBLY TASTY - super plush and lush. We're thrilled with how the wines have turned out, and we can't wait for everyone to try them. You'll SERIOUSLY kick yourself if you miss out on these wines!! Hide this content.

This bottling plays it down the middle: rich, but tart; fruity, yet elusive; dry, yet sweet in fruit. The raspberries and pomegranates have a touch of cranberry, which certainly makes the mouth water. The oak is perfect, bringing sweet toast, vanilla to the formula. And the finish is dry and long in fruity essence and cola spice. A lovely Pinot Noir, delicate and feminine, superdrinkable now. - Steve Heimoff. 93 Points

A darker, more black fruit-driven effort, the wine sports a deep ruby color as well as terrific notes of smoked earth, licorice, spice box and assorted black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and rich, it stays elegant and layered on the palate, with beautiful purity. - The Wine Advocate. 93 Points

A cool-climate Pinot Noir, it has a cranberry tartness, but is also rich and decadent in black cherry and raspberry, with an earthy coffee-bean quality. It balances voluptuousness with a streamlined, tantalizing, elusive personality, which is what Pinot Noir at its best should do. - Steve Heimoff. 93 Points

Another outstanding wine from this team. Spice, dried flowers, black raspberries and potpourri aromas all give way to an elegant, pure and charming Pinot Noir that has less acidity than the 2013, medium-bodied richness and excellent purity of fruit. It should drink nicely right out of the gate. - The Wine Advocate. 92 Points
