Enticing, with zesty blackberry and wild berry scents, this offers a mix of crushed rock and lavender, finishing with hint of smoky, toasty oak. Drink now through 2020. 201 cases made. –JL

This wine is so silky, it glides over the palate like a cool stream. Then the flavors kick in-- fabulously rich in raspberry and cherry jam, vanilla and spicy sandalwood, brightened by crisp acidity. The verdict: A beautiful Pinot Noir, lush and fine, for drinking over the next four years, especially with something that includes mushrooms.

Bright ruby-red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes red berry liqueur, incense and star anise, with a strong vanilla overtone. Lush and supple in texture, with a slight jamminess to its raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors. Open-knit and emphatically fruity, finishing with very good energy and spicy persistence.
