The 2013 Pinot Noir Ridgecrest Vineyards was cropped between 2 and 3.2 tons per acres and matured for 11 months in 44% new oak. The bouquet is well defined and pure with lifted dark cherries and blueberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit, touches of bay leaf and black tea, although I feel that the finish needs more flesh and depth to match the quality of the aromatics. Give it a year or two to see what develops in bottle.
