"The 2021 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is a step up and has a beautiful nose of ripe framboise, spring flowers, black tea, and leather. As with all of the Pinot Noirs here, it plays in the medium-bodied, elegant (at times mid-weight) style of the estate, but the balance is spot on, it has beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This incredibly seductive, elegant 2021 will evolve for at least a decade."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is a classy, elegant wine. Bright red-toned fruit, cinnamon, dried leaves, tobacco and orange peel are beautifully lifted. Translucent and super-expressive, with tons of energy, the 2021 is absolutely compelling. It's a terrific wine from Brian Talley."

"Warm with scents of jasmine petals and creosote, this is tense and dark in its black-cherry, dark plum and black-soil flavors. It,s velvety and deep, a comforting, earthy red for braised duck. ‡P.J.C."

"Enticing red cherry and pomegranate aromas gain depth from the fennel pollen and crushed thyme elements on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate is tense and snappy with bright acidity, as raspberry flavors meet with wild mint and light tarragon."
