Taking on more layers, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Stalker is a youthful saturated ruby and opens to aromas of sandalwood, preserved cherry, and anise. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and mouth-filling fruit, it‘s a generous wine, with mineral accents and a great finish. Drink 2024-2032.

Fragrant nose of rose petals, raspberries, pomegranates and rhubarb. Very fresh, with a medium body and chalky tannins. Nicely mineral at the end. Drink now. Screw cap.

Lean in style and rather briary, with sleek raspberry, underbrush and savory mushroom flavors that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2031. 1,370 cases made.

Lithe and earthy, with scents of plum tea and Christmas spice, this wine’s dark cherry flavors are juicy, its tannins extracted and dry. For the cellar.
