Tasting notes
Aromatic and floral with roses and hibiscus with fresh strawberries. Some hot stones. Full-bodied. Firm and velvety tannins that melt into the wine. Hints of meat, chocolate and cedar. Some bark, too. Savory with ripe fruit yet flashy and crisp. Contrasty. A top wine. Better after 2027.

The 2020 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard has a gorgeous expression this vintage. Medium ruby-purple color, it's scented of raspberry, pomegranate and blueberries with accents of cola, tobacco leaves and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate has a deep core of red fruit and tremendous spicy, earthy accents. Supported by powdery tannins and bright acidity, it boasts loads of floral perfume on the long finish. Wow!

Turkish-delight-lush cherry fruit. Almost seems simple, at first, because it's such an ardent, forward, expressive wine. But that hides the millefeuille. Cumin and caraway spice washed with liquorice; sour cherry; a thin nerve of bitterness; tannins so fine they seem invisible at first, then severe, then invisible. A wine of stories.
