Tasting notes
Captivating aromas of black cherry and pomegranate, complemented by an earthy blend of truffle, wet forest floor, and baking spices. A similar sensation on the palate, revealing more flavors of fresh raspberry, cedar and dry leaf. A beautiful pairing with seared salmon and fondant potatoes, as well as spiced lamb burgers or carnitas.

February 2022 (Vintage 2019)Ripe red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by candied rose and baking spice notes and display fine detail and lift. Seamless in texture and showing very good energy to the sweet red and blue fruit flavors, which deepen through the back half. The clinging finish repeats the spice and cherry notes and lingers with tenacity and gentle tannic grip.

September 2023 (Vintage 2021)A saturated and barely transparent ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is ripe and forward with aromas of cherry lozenge, toasted baking spices, and pressed flowers. Rounded and silky, this medium-bodied red is attractive with ripe red and black-berried fruits, supple, fine tannins, and a graceful finish. It’s a very attractive, ripe wine to enjoy over the next few years.

May 2023 (Vintage 2021)Red fruited Pinot Noir from a collection of Dundee Hills sites in the Sokol Blosser portfolio. Floral aromatics of dried violets give way to fresh cranberry relish and wintergreen aromatics. The palate offers a streak of umami underlying bing cherry flesh and ripe raspberries.
