Very well polished, supple and deep, while maintaining good balance and a sense of vibrancy. Ample black cherries, blueberries and black tea on the palate, backed by moderate, well-integrated tannins. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

Ripe cherries, church candle aromatics, dark, dusty, and seductive fruits with a hint of smoky rose petals. From black cherries to black tea intensity on the palate. Smoky clove and spicy chicory root with turned earth and dark umami tones that show the way to a stony mineral finish.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Nuthouse bursts from the glass with an array of crushed black cherries, sweet sage and chalk dust. soft-textured and round, it offers juicy red berry fruits and an air of rosy inner florals that swirl throughout. This 2022 finishes long yet fresh, leaving a licorice resonance to linger. A total pleasure to taste.

Exuberantly lively and pinpoint in focus, with vibrant cherry and cranberry flavors laced with cinnamon and fresh violet tones as this zips along the finish. Drink now through 2032. 725 cases made.
