The 2024 Pinot Noir Worden Hill Road has the red fruit of the volcanic series along with baking spice and tangerine. Pouring a youthful bright red color, it is lifted and expressive with notes of fresh red cherries, alpine herbs, dusty earth, and spice. Medium-bodied, the palate is vertical with fine tannins, refreshing acidity, and beautiful balance. It is a harmonious and elegant wine that should drink well over the coming 15 years or more.

An intense yet refined wine with aromas of wild blackberry, raspberry, saline minerality and coastal pine forest. The palate is concentrated, supporting the pure fruit flavors with a firm structural backbone that feels more soil than oak driven. Changes a lot in the glass. Worth lingering over. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
