Tasting notes

Crushed Red Cherry, Bramble Berries, Earthy Spice

About

Subtle hints of sage, clove and vanilla add further complexity to the nose of bright cherry and pomegranate. On the palate, layers of fruit continue to evolve with notes of crushed red cherry and bramble berries. Structured palate provides a round and soft mouthfeel with bright acidity, silky tannins and a touch of earthy spice on a long gentle finish.

About average winter rainfall provided good soil moisture profile for the start of the growing season. Budbreak started the last week of February, mostly in younger blocks, with the rest popping out mid-March. Canopies were at arm’s length by the end of April with no signs of cap fall until the middle of May. Veraison started slightly later than normally, towards the end of July, which led to a later start of harvest. The weekend of 9/14, we had a heat spike, but after three days the weather returned to normal. The harvest started fast, but overall had a beautiful even pace with cool nights and moderate daytime temperatures throughout the end of season. The quality of the fruit was outstanding, resulting in wine with beautiful color, concentrated flavors, balanced tannins, round mouthfeel and soft acidity.

Our 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir reflects the cool climate and well-drained soils of our estate vineyards as well as the unique complexity brought on by multiple clones. Pommard clone from Doctor’s vineyard makes up half of this blend and is one of our favorite clones in the SLH. Smith Vineyard is planted to Calera clone, which is known for its tight small clusters and gives depth to the blend. Finally, fruit from Lone Oak vineyard, coming from our famed Orchestal block planted in 2013, duplicating mass variation of many burgundy vineyards with a multitude of clones, increases the complexity of the blend.

Critics Review

92 Points from Wine Spectator, December 2021

Elegant and burnished, with concentrated dark cherry, plum and berry flavors backed by rich acidity and medium-grained tannins. Asian spice notes and underbrush accents fill the finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,540 cases made.

Deep, brilliant crimson. Displays an array of ripe red fruit, floral and exotic spice qualities on the highly perfumed nose, along with suave vanilla and cola nuances. Shows very good depth as well as energy to its appealingly sweet cherry and Chambord flavors, which are sharpened by a spicy touch of white pepper. Smooth, even tannins build slowly on a persistent finish that strongly echoes the floral and spice notes. 33% new French oak.
