So much fresh flowers with hibiscus and honey blossom. Dried citrus like lemon zest. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that are super integrated. Zesty finish. Lots of focus and beauty. The tannins are perfectly melted into the wine.

The 2021 Pinot Noir San Andreas Fault is the flagship wine for the estate and the first wine they ever produced. A blend from 35 parcels across the estate, it’s designed to capture the vintage character overall. On opening, the rich ruby-colored 2021 has a gorgeous floral bouquet with a beautifully perfumed nose of raspberry liqueur, roses, and fresh mossy earth. Medium-bodied, it’s silky through the palate, with elegant structure, and is already showing beautifully. Weightless, but with lovely density of fruit, it’s long on the palate and certainly captures the greatness of this vintage. Drink 2024-2036. (AF)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate San Andreas Fault is a blend of thirty parcels across the vineyard. Vibrant and super-complex, the 2021 screams with precision right out of the gate. Dark red-toned fruit, dried herbs, mint and sage are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The purity of the flavors here is so compelling. (AG)
