"Darkly florals, the 2022 Pinot Noir Reserva is youthfully brooding, opening with a note of dried black cherry fruit offset by blue and purple floral tones. This displays a lovely balance of ripe wild berry fruits and zesty acidity, further enhanced by a tinge of blood orange. It stains the palate in a liquid flowery concentration and a coating of fine-grained tannins as a pleasant inner sweetness resonates. Today, the 2022 shows a bit of its new oak (35%), which should integrate well with a few years of cellaring."

"Suggestions of white pepper and rose petals give way to dusty strawberries as the 2021 Pinot Noir Reserve blossoms in the glass. This is racy and sleek with lifted textures and tart wild berry depths guided by juicy acidity. Violet and lavender tones resonate as the 2021 finishes long and staining with a lingering cranberry crunch."

"Deep magenta in color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Reserve takes a little coaxing to open in the glass and reveals notes of pine resin, cherry liqueur, and mossy forest floor. Ripe and structured, it retains very good freshness and has refreshing, even acidity, ripe tannins, and a delicate, mineral-noted finish. It should hold up over the next 6-8 years."

"A medium-bodied red with dried-strawberry and citrus aromas and flavors. Firm and fresh. Drink or hold."
