94 Points - Wine Spectator:  Ripe, with deliciously succulent waves of plum, boysenberry and mulberry fruit rolling through, laced with iris and hibiscus notes and ending with light anise and apple wood hints on the finish. Packs a nice finishing kick of fruit at the end, too, while keeping a racy edge.

Winemaker Notes:  Composed with a majority (57%) Estate fruit, and a sizable portion (18%) Mes Filles Vineyard, the 2021 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has a coastal lean to it. Sebastopol Hills, our neighborhood in Russian River Valley, gets the most coastal marine influence in the AVA and the wine shows the hallmarks of this terroir: dark color, structured mouthfeel, and vivid berry fruit backed by an array of warm spices. This wine will pair well with rich foods and will age in the cellar gracefully for 10+ years.
