90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Our flagship Reserve from the 2020 vintage continues the string of successes from our Sarah’s Vineyard Pinot Noir blocks in the historic Santa Clara Valley appellation.
The 2020 Reserve Pinot Noir is bursting with red fruit aromas and flavors of fresh cherry, strawberry, and plum, as well as hints of violet and rose petals on the nose. The fruit is complemented in the glass by baking spice, clove, and a touch of vanilla with smooth, silky tannins. As we head into fall, pair this with a meal of pot roast, veggies, and crusty bread, or keep it simple with a mushroom and caramelized onion pizza. Only 118 cases were made of this very special Pinot Noir.
