Tasting notes
Plump, ripe dark fruit and berries, baking spice and dried herbs on the nose. Full-bodied with fine, structured tannins. Blackberries and black licorice wash over the palate with earth and savory herbs. Well-crafted acidity keeps the intensity steady through the long, warming finish. Best after 2024.

This crunchy red delivers flavors of dried raspberry and dark currant, with juicy acidity. Ends with toasty richness on the broad and well-spiced finish, with notes of tarragon. 1,155 cases made.
The UV site is right in the middle of Russian River, planted to Calera and Vosne-Roman�e (suitcase) clones. The 2019 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard was aged in French oak, 60% new, and bottled at the beginning of July. Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the nose is wonderfully perfumed, featuring notes of red roses, underbrush, wild sage and menthol over a core of pomegranate, black raspberries and wild strawberries. The palate is softly textured and beautifully balanced with full-bodied, generous fruit and just enough freshness, finishing long with a red berry lift.
