"Clear ruby red. The vibrant, mineral, and spicy aromas of red fruits and flowers are very clear and feature notes of musky earth and incense. The energetic flavors of raspberry, sour cherry, redcurrant, and exotic spices deepen and become sweeter as the wine opens up. The finish is very long and precise, with exceptional clarity and resonant mineral and floral notes." (Vinous 2022). Screw cap.

About wine:
This vintage Pinot Noir "Primavera," from a single vineyard, is as vibrant as its bright cherry color suggests. It is a more delicate wine, to be drunk immediately, than the other single-varietal Pinots from this producer. The wine explodes in the glass with aromas of red berries and cinnamon bark, followed by softer notes of dried herbs, flowers, and warm stones. The palate is fresh and bright, with well-defined tannins. Drink now through 2026.

About wine:
Bright red cherries and strawberries in a pure Pinot Noir style with a slightly herbaceous character and light reductive and tarry notes. The palate is precise and refined in terms of tannin structure and fruit purity. Bright red cherries abound. Acidity stimulates the finish. Drink now or cellar. Screw cap.
