The 2024 Pinot Noir White Walnut Vineyard pours a deep jeweled ruby color and is immediately appealing with black raspberries, blue and red fruits, forest earth, fresh porcini, violets, and a profile that stands apart from the volcanic series. Medium-bodied, it resonates beautifully across the palate with polish, primary fruit, and lovely complexity. Give it another year for the delicate toast and oak spice to integrate completely. I see this shining brightly over the next 20 years.

Aromas of sage, thyme, dusty cherry, dried rose petals, orange bitters and sandstone. Flavors of wild raspberry bramble, bay laurel and toasted spice. Textural and fine-grained. Changes so much in the glass. Drink or hold.
