The 2017 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard will be the last version of this cuvée. Pale to medium ruby, the nose offers cranberry, cola, black tea leaves and tree bark scents, while the light to medium-bodied palate has crunchy, spicy fruits in a soft frame, and it finishes fresh and long. 45 cases were made.

Pale to medium ruby, the 2015 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard has gorgeous aromas of gravel dust, rose petal and orange oil with notes of dusty earth, cracked pepper and prosciutto plus tons of latent fruit at the core: wild blackberries, black raspberries, warm raspberries, blueberries and black and red cherries. I could just go on and on smelling this. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and saline, very slowly segueing to spicy, briary black fruits and smoky tinges, with a frame of chewy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing very long and very spicy with tons of energy.

Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard offers up fragrant lavender, Provence herbs and damp earth scents over a core of Bing cherries and wild strawberries with hints of tree sap and cinnamon stick. The medium-bodied palate gives a solid frame of grainy/chewy tannins and lively acid, backing up the intense red berry and earthy layers nicely, finishing with great persistence. Give it another year for the apparent stem inclusion to marry-in and drink it over the next ten years+.

A terrific wine, the 2013 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard (completely destemmed and aged 20 months in 50% new French oak) has tons of Burgundian-like forest floor, blackberry, raspberry, flowers and spice aromas and flavors that continue to change with time in the glass. Medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, with tons of sweet fruit and charm, it's already hard to resist, yet will keep nicely for a decade.

I loved the 2012 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard from barrel and it didn't disappoint from bottle. Giving up rocking notes of strawberries, raspberries and cherries, it has tons of spice, dried earth and underbrush aromas and flavors that continue to develop and change in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and textured, with both freshness and richness, it's a beautifully complete Pinot Noir that should evolve gracefully. Completely destemmed and aged 20 months in 50% new French oak, this is easily the more fruit-driven, pure and elegant Pinot Noir in the lineup.
