In a cellar where “place” is paramount this bottling is perhaps the Pinot Noir the best shows the attributes of from where it lives. This is not an easy wine and it is very likely not a wine either for everybody or even a majority of people. This is a dark and savory Pinot Noir with the sort of tannin structure one would expect from vines growing in something akin to a quarry. That is, however, why it is glorious for those that want something tougher, wilder and completely different than the vast majority of Pinot Noirs made anywhere in the world.

Blackberry aromas combine with saline, duff and fresh hops. The wine's flavors include an explosion of blackberries with a touch of orange zest. The tannins are grippy and the mouthfeel is as leathery as Russell Crowe's battle gear in “Gladiator.” Mercy. Enjoy from 2025-2036.
