The 2021 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch is shy and flinty to begin before opening to broody cherry, tobacco, mushroom powder and graphite aromas. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing despite its highly concentrated, spicy fruit—an alluring combination that calls you back to the glass on the long finish. It's elegant and dangerously easy to drink, although it will mature gracefully over the next decade. 349 cases were made.

Offers a gorgeous display of fruit, with loganberry, boysenberry and mulberry notes that are fresh, succulent and well-defined as they cruise through. Carried by a polished structure, this wine's flavors stay fresh through the floral- and incense-gilded finish, which sports a fine mineral thread. Beautiful. Drink now through 2030. 345 cases made.
