The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate sees 25% new oak, with 25% whole cluster inclusion, and pours a jeweled ruby hue. Super expressive on the nose, with notes of framboise, wild herbs, rosemary, and dusty earth, the palate takes on more iron richness in its texture and profile, with ripe fruit and tannins and an even spine of acidity. It will do well over the next 8-10 years. It retains wonderful purity but has the stuffing to last. - Audrey Frick

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate slowly evolves in the glass: a gorgeous magenta with a complex blend of wild strawberries, raspberries, rosemary, sage and crushed rocks create a seductive bouquet. This balances silky, refined textures with crisp wild berries and tactile mineral tones, all guided by brisk acidity. Violet inner florals resonate throughout as the 2021 finishes grippy, long and wonderfully balanced, leaving a primary concentration and edgy tannins. -- Eric Guido

Another beautifully put-together Pinot Noir from the Lingua Franca estate vineyard. A riper vintage shows robust and rich aromatics that are balanced by elegance across the palate. Notes of violet, dusty black cherry and gravelly minerality mark the aromatics. The palate is lushly fruited, with dark red and blue fruits, but is framed by a graceful structure and with a long stony mineral finish.
