  There is a rich black plum darkness to the nose of this bottling, which transitions to muddy loam and wet clay, lifted by aromatic sagebrush. The palate shows dried black cherry, star anise and more soil-driven minerality.

  The famed winery comes a bit south to make this earthy, savory wine, with smoked sage, leather, forest floor, cherry and slate on the nose. The palate packs elegantly tart cranberry and pure flavors of sage-smoked wild cherry with the juicy elements of an herb-crusted pork tende…

  The winery sources this fruit from a vineyard near Hollister. It delivers aromas of bramble berry, espresso-dipped cherry and allspice. Cherry and chocolate power the palate, which also benefits from lifting mint, sagebrush and eucalyptus, finishing with chopped herbs.

  A very good, impressively concentrated Pinot Noir, with flashy, ripe cherry, blackberry and currant flavors. It's a little too robust right now, with an almost rustic mouthfeel, but could develop bottle complexity over the years.

  Smoky new oak dominates the aromas and flavors of this Pinot Noir, giving a toasty, roasted note. Yet the underlying wine doesn't have the power to support all that wood. Despite the pleasant cherry and raspberry flavors, the oak rules.

  Dry and elegant, this Pinot has a Central Coast feeling, with a pale color and brisk acidity. The cherry, cola, spice and oak flavors seem a little simple now, but that could be deceiving, as years in the cellar might benefit.

  Quite ripe but a bit chewy on the palate. Pretty cherry, strawberry, tea, spice and herb flavors are at the core. Tannins are slightly robust, but still ripe. The wine finishes long, clean and elegant.
