The 2019 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard is the first iteration of this single-vineyard bottling. It offers aromas of wild berries and citrus peel with earthy undertones of tobacco, laurel leaves and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate is atypical of the lush, fruity style associated with the Russian River Valley—the Kanzler is silky, refreshing and light on its feet with intriguing botanical streaks and a long finish that unfurls to layered, earthy nuances.

The 2019 Kanzler Vineyard is a very pretty wine from this Russian River site. Rose petal, sweet red cherry, mint, spice and blood orange are all nicely delineated in this perfumed, mid-weight offering. (AG)

A dark, winey and juicy Pinot, with enticing blackberry, black cherry and plum pâte de fruit notes that pump through, revealing black licorice and black tea along the way. A savory hint gives the finish a nice touch of contrast. (JM)
