"Especially smooth, rounded and melted in texture, this gorgeous wine is steeped in ripe red and black fruit on a full body. Great choice when you want a luxurious, mouth-filling wine that remains well-balanced by good acidity and moderate tannins. Keeps opening up in the glass, making you want to keep sipping. Made from the Wadenswill clone. Sustainable. Drink now or hold."

"Light ruby with garnet highlights. Smells of raspberry and dried herbs. Silky flavours of raspberry, redcurrant, sour cherry and dried herbs have fantastically bright acidity and lightly grippy tannins. Dried herbs and citrus peel linger in the finish. (AY) 13.7%"

"Lastly, the 2022 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is the most mineral-laced and savory, with savory raspberries, dried strawberries, crushed stone, and floral, spicy aromas and flavors. Brought up in 39% new barrels, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, graceful texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It will benefit from just a year in bottle and drink beautifully for a decade."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is a deep, beguiling wine. Black cherry, clove, tobacco, dried herbs and lavender add to an impression of somber intensity. This dark, brooding Pinot has plenty to offer. I especially admire its textural density and overall persistence."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is the most aromatically developed Pinot Noir of the range, showing vibrant, polished red fruit aromas framed with judicious new oak and lifted top notes of dried herbs. Similarly, the texture is a beautiful combination of alluring, tensile and agile, displaying solid precision and clarity through the medium-bodied palate. The finish is direct and structured, showing a framing of chewy, new-oak tannin that could use a year or so to integrate."

"Rich aromas of toasted nuts and woodspice pair with baked plum and light game on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate shows a slightly gamy touch as well, with flavors of sagebrush, berry and plum rising into a peppery finish. — Matt Kettmann"
