The 2017 Pinot Noir Cuvée Eva Marie was made with 28% whole cluster and aged 15 months in 44% new French oak. Pale ruby purple, it's youthfully coiled and the aromas are shy but with time, dried leaves, wet earth, smoked cranberries and black cherries emerge, with nuances of English Breakfast tea, citrus peel and tobacco leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with broody flavors, a finely grained frame and super juicy freshness, finishing very long. Give this another year in bottle. 381 cases produced.
Red cherries, wild berries and sweet, spicy earth here. Hints of wild herbs and orange zest add early complexity to this fresh and attractive pinot. The palate has a vibrant and plush feel with fine, layered tannins, delivering a sleek and long, focused finish. So long and fresh. Drink or hold.
