“A clear ruby red. The vibrant, mineral, and spicy aromas of red fruits and flowers are remarkably distinct, with 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 the wine:
This single-vineyard "Primavera" Pinot Noir is as vibrant as its bright cherry hue suggests. It is a more delicate wine, meant to be enjoyed now, than this producer’s other single-varietal Pinots. The wine bursts 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 lively, with well-defined tannins. Enjoy now through 2026.

About the wine:
Bright red cherries and strawberries in a classic Pinot Noir style, with a slightly herbaceous character and subtle reductive and tarry notes. The palate is precise and refined, with well-structured tannins and pure fruit. Bright red cherries abound. The acidity livens up the finish. Ready to drink or worth cellaring. Screw cap.
