Vintage Notes
Now over two decades in age, the Pinot Noir plantings from Ryan Vineyard on Mt. Harlan have produced a beautifully vibrant and expressive wine with red cherry and cola aromas, as well as flavors of fresh plum, white pepper and cocoa. On the palate it is energetic and lively, with supple tannins and a bright, impeccably balanced finish.
