A deep transparent ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number One is floral with the perfume of candied violets, cola spice, and cherry preserve. Full-bodied and classic, with grenadine, pressed flowers, and vanilla spice, a soft texture, and fine tannins, drink this plush and juicy style of red over the next 4-5 years.

Ripe and mouth-filling, this full-bodied wine is generously loaded with dark cherries, blueberries and dark chocolate for a richness that makes it appropriate with smoky, spicy entrees or even as an after-dinner pour. Best through 2030.

Very pure, with a beam of mulberry puree spilling through, flanked by subtle red tea, apple wood and incense. The finish has a nicely inlaid spine, giving this focus and length. Drink now through 2030. 485 cases made.

Notes of ripe and mellow raspberries and cherries with orange peel, cocoa and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied. Round and silky with a plush, red-fruited palate. Delicious. Drink or hold.
