“From a steep, five-acre site above Corralitos in the Santa Cruz Mountains and vinified with 20% whole cluster, the 2025 Pinot Noir was aged 10 months in 15% new French oak. It has outstanding aromatics of framboise and assorted red fruits, forest herbs, flowers, and juniper on the nose. It's medium-bodied on the palate, round, supple, and nicely textured, with a layered mouthfeel and a great finish. It's beautifully done and a joy to drink today. It should last 4-6 years in the cellar with ease.”-Jeb Dunnuck, Jebdunnuck.com
