Feral on the nose and palate, awash in cherry but also a savage garden of wild rose, this wine is precociously young. It expands slowly in the glass finally to unleash a ferocity of cranberry and raspberry. Drink 2018 through 2024. — Virginie Boone

The 2014 Pinot Nair Olivet Lane Vineyard is quite closed today. Next to the other 2014s in this range, the Olivet Lane comes across as compact and a touch austere. Citrus notes add brightness to the red cherry and cranberry fruit, but the 2014 never seems to really open up. It will be interesting to see what happens with more time in bottle.
