Earthly forest and twig support a medium build of integrated acidity and balanced fruit in this blend named for the proprietor. Aged in 55% new oak, blackberry and black licorice dominate the profile against a fine-grained texture of toasty wood and depth.

Generous plum, black cherry and wild berry fruit is supple and well-centered, firming midpalate. Medium- to full-bodied, ending with a clean burst of fruit flavors. Drink now through 2018. 328 cases made.

A gorgeous Pinot Noir, dry and crisp in cool-climate acidity, with a silky texture housing complex cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. Oak adds lush vanilla and toast notes. Really lovely now, and should develop over the next six years.
