A light hue in the glass, this bottling from a vineyard that sits at 2,200 feet in a newly designated appellation shows intense aromas of black raspberry, scarlet rose petals and peppercorn on the crunchy yet fruity nose. The palate is exciting and exuberant with fresh berry, white pepper, bay leaf and potpourri flavors that are wrapped in chalky tannins. Drink now-2041. *Cellar Selection*

The 2021 Pinot Noir Coastview Vineyard leads with a focused, savory nose of red fruits, citrus peels, tobacco leaves and touches of underbrush. The palate is silky but with a solid amount of richness and stuffing, leading to a juicy, fragrant finish lined with a lifted, vibrant structure. While slightly less searing and complete than the Rodnick Farm bottling, this fantastic effort should reward nearly a decade of cellaring.
