A semi-opaque, deep ruby with a purple hint, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number Eight takes on a darker profile, with wet stone, blackberry, pepper, and grilled rosemary. Full-bodied, it brings more structure, with ripe tannins, iron-rich earth, and kirsch as well as fresh lift on the finish. Drink 2025-2035.

Wonderful violet and rose petal aromas lead to juicy black cherry and black currant flavors in this medium- to full-bodied, lightly tannic wine. Its concentrated fruit core keeps pumping out delicious berries through the sip and the lingering finish. Best from 2025-2032.
