Complex aromas of dried and fresh strawberries, flowers, flint, spices, bark, dark tea and umami. Precise and medium-bodied, with a beautiful, fresh and vivid center palate of ripe fruit, vivid stones and rose stems. Silky and lightly chalky texture. Gorgeous now, but will age beautifully. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Pinot Noir The Estate is blended from all nine clonal selections planted in the Wayfarer Vineyard and was matured for 16 months in 43% new French oak. It has dramatically unfurling scents of brambly fruit, orange peel, pipe tobacco, charcuterie and forest floor. The full-bodied palate is powerful, flooding the mouth with complex layers of bitters-laced fruit. It has a seamless structure, bright bursts of acidity and a very long, layered finish. It evolves over several days and will benefit from time in the cellar. 1,310 cases were made.

A blend of all the clones on the property, the 2024 Pinot Noir The Estate takes on a deeper jeweled ruby hue and reveals notes of black cherries, lavender, gravelly tannins, and fleshy richness. Refined, complete, and constantly evolving in the glass, it captures the full picture of the estate beautifully. Drink over the coming 20 years.
