Tasting notes
The closest they can come to producing a single vineyard wine from the property, the 2019 Pinot Noir Edition Limitee is perfumed with luxurious aromas of spice, leather, cedar, black cherry, and fresh-turned earth. The palate is concentrated but not heavy, although it also has a more angular tannic structure. It reveals blackberry liqueur fruit on the palate, with dusty earth, and a floral perfume on the finish. There were 250 cases produced. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Édition Limitée comes from vines planted in 1999 and 2002, blocks in the estate vineyards that winemaker Arron Bell says, "could be our grand cru," after mapping out the blocks that have historically appeared in the Édition Limitée. Medium ruby-purple, it is fragrant and expressive, with cranberry and blackberry fruit and accents of aniseed, rosewater, woodsmoke and tea leaves. The light-bodied palate is fresh and silty with tremendous floral perfume and a very long, layered finish.
A perfumed nose of blackberries, raspberries, forest wood, violets and baking spices. Medium-bodied with plush tannins and fresh acidity. Round and creamy with a silky texture. Savory finish with good length. Sweet fruit at the end. Drink or hold.
