Wine Reviews
The transparent ruby 2022 Pinot Noir Decouverte Vineyard comes from the Dundee Hills and offers a lovely, fresh perfume of preserved cranberry, cinnamon, fresh flowers, and mushroomy earth. Medium to lean in body, it floats on the palate with an even feel and a clean finish. I would drink this very pretty red over the next 4-6 years.
Rose petals, black cherries, dark plums, cloves and cedar all combine for a complex, broad and mouth-filling wine backed by moderate tannins. From organically grown grapes
Handsomely built and dynamic, this Pinot offers raspberry and cherry flavors framed by stony minerality and forest floor tones while building tension toward medium-grained tannins.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Découverte Vineyard is simply stunning, enticing with dark florals and mentholated herbal tones elevating its crushed blackberry fruit. This opens with a pleasant inner sweetness and textures of pure silk, giving way to depths of vividly ripe black cherries that swirl under an air of violet pastille. The 2021 lingers impossibly long while maintaining a lovely inner freshness. Hints of licorice and lavender fade over a sour citrus tinge and gently grippy tannins.
