“The 2019 Pinot Noir Five Mountain has a pale ruby-purple color and pretty scents of cranberry, blueberry, blood orange and earth. The palate is soft and juicy with generous, spicy fruit and a long, fragrant finish.” -Erin Brooks
“The earthy aromatics really impress, alongside a core of black raspberry and black tea. This comes off ripe and plump once on the mouth, with red rose water and black truffle accents, as the length and viscosity add depth. Complex and delicious to savor now, enjoy this beautiful wine over the next twelve plus years.”
Lively, mineral-laced red fruit, floral and cola scents are complemented by vanilla and woodsmoke nuances. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and raspberry flavors that deepen and become sweeter as the wine opens up. Shows very good depth as well as energy and closes with solid, red-fruit-driven persistence and fine-grained tannins that add gentle grip.
Cranberry, blackberry and black cherry ring loud and clear, with appealing wet-stone minerality in the background. The fruit flavors are so front loaded and intense that it’s easy to miss the inherent angularity and overall finesse of the wine. It’s structured and fine-tuned for aging.
“A pretty nose of redcurrants, plums, sour cherries, dried herbs and stones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Supple and velvety with spicy character. Succulent finish. Drink or hold.”
