Concentrated and earthy, with black tea and plum blossoms riding along on silky tannins. Tobacco, dried lavender, and persimmon create a complex network of flavors.

Focused and tense, with floral refinement and racy acidity. Plum and cherry notes are accented by white pepper and sandalwood. Umami notes settle on the finish with a pleasing salinity.

Richly fruited and seductive, this lets warm linzer torte, cherry compote and boysenberry puree notes spread out evenly, while licorice and apple wood act as a frame. Generous in feel, with the juicy energy of the vintage to boot. Drink now through 2031. 790 cases made.

Pouring a bright ruby red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane is minty and fresh, with notes of cinnamon, pomegranate, lifted spice, and clove. Medium-bodied, it has refreshing, bright citrus tones on the palate, with orange zest, supple underlying texture, and delicate incense notes. It’s a bit nervous today but should open up nicely over the next six months or so. Drink 2026-2036.

A deeper red/magenta-toned color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate is more introspective, with polished cedar, black cherries, licorice, and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rich structure, chalky tannins, broader shoulders, orange zest, and spice that expand across the palate. The tannins build steadily, and it’s worth holding another year or two. Drink 2027-2047.
