A robust, concentrated and firmly structured wine that’s laced with black cherries and dried blueberries on firm, fine-grained tannins. Made from heritage and suitcase clones of pinot noir that give extra weight and density along with an age-worthy structure. It’s deep, dark and long-lasting on the finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

From vines planted in 2015, the 2023 Pinot Noir White Walnut Vineyard has kaleidoscopic scents of black plum, pomegranate, rose petals, lichen and bitters—with every return to the glass, compelling new aromas emerge. Despite its tremendous concentration, the full-bodied palate is silky, seamless and vibrant, and it has a very long, spice-laced finish. It will gain savory complexity in bottle over the next 15–20 years.
