Lovely floral aromas of lavender and rose petal with ripe yet fresh strawberries. Crushed stone. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and bright acidity. Subtle mineral and salt notes with gorgeous fruits. But always reserved. Slate. Super value, such quality.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Estate is bright and vibrant, showing terrific purity and tons of class. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and dried herbs all run through this mid-weight, transparent Pinot Noir. I would give this another 6-12 months in bottle at least. The Estate is conceived as a sort of entry-level offering, but the 2020 is a pretty serious wine that requires at least a measure of patience.

Moving to the reds, the 2020 Pinot Noir Estate has lots of black raspberry and strawberry-like fruits as well as toasted spices and floral notes. It’s medium-bodied, textured, has some background, nicely integrated oak, and beautiful tannins. Drink this gem over the coming 4-6 years.
