Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, with 40% being new, it displays a gorgeous glistening ruby color in the glass. Aromas of bright red cherry, fresh black raspberry, dried mint, and powdered graphite, alongside light ground coffee notes, produce a gorgeous nose that is expressive and vibrant. Acidity checks in on the high side, while the palate is rounded and broad.

This has aromas of dried cranberries, blueberries, tea leaves, slate, sweet spices and lemon rind. Sleek, well-integrated tannins, with tight, savory layers. Cool and mineral at the end. Delicious already, but better from 2023.

Fresh and vibrant, with elegantly layered raspberry, violet and spiced cinnamon flavors that glide agilely toward polished tannins.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Latchkey Vineyard has very pretty scents of cranberry and raspberry preserves, cola, lavender, Earl Grey tea leaves and aniseed. The light-bodied palate has notably concentrated berry flavors, a pleasing touch of astringency, fireworks of fresh acidity and a long, perfumed finish.
