The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is finessed and remarkably pretty, displaying rosy floral perfumes and hints of white strawberry and spice. This mixes ripe wild berry fruits with candied citrus, all nicely framed by tactile mineral tones and a tinge of zesty acidity. It tapers off with admirable length, leaving a tart, spicy cranberry resonance in its wake. The Estate Pinot hails from a vineyard planted in 1964.

This twist top bottling from the Central Coast's first Pinot Noir vineyard ever starts with subdued aromas of cherry and earth that grow more generous with just a tiny bit of air. The palate is tightly wound, framing pomegranate, strawberry and hibiscus flavors that evolve into a rose petal-laced finish.
