Estimate
...giving up strawberry and raspberry preserves, bergamot, amaro, rose petals, charcuterie and pipe tobacco. The light to medium-bodied palate offers nuanced red fruits with firm, grainy tannins, finishing on a bitters note.
The flavors are bold, punchy and super-expressive... Black cherry, plum, lavender and spice all race out of the glass. Pliant, deep and inviting, the 2016 is arrestingly beautiful.
Strawberry puree, raspberry, mint and sage adorn up-front acidity in this focused, fresh and delicately framed wine named for the infamous earthquake fault. Crisp and light as cucumber, it sizzles in earthy energy.
Concentrated forest floor notes accent the dried cherry, currant and raspberry flavors. The fresh, minerally finish is firm and lightly spiced.
Such a pretty style of Pinot, understated elegance in a glass. There is a subtle sandalwood and cranberry character that is supported by forest fruits. Very lively acidity...finishes long and fine.
