Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard is scented of fresh cranberries and red cherries with notes of woodsmoke, tar and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is soft and juicy with loads of earth and spice-laced fruits, and it finishes long and spicy. 425 cases produced.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard was aged in 50% new French oak. Pale ruby in the glass, it's scented of fresh Bing cherries, cranberries, dried leaves, citrus peel, potpourri and blackberries. It’s light-bodied with bright, crunchy, spicy fruits, a grainy frame and great freshness on the spicy finish. 425 cases produced.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard has a wonderfully fragrant nose of violets, red roses and black cherries with touches of warm red plums, blueberries and mulberries plus a waft of baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs in the black and blue fruit layers with a plush texture and plenty of vivacity to the finish.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard has a fragrant nose of lavender, oolong tea and fertile loam over a red currant and Bing cherry core with a waft of underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is just beautiful with very finely grained tannins and seamless acidity framing the elegant red berry and earthy flavors, finishing with a slight minerality.

The final Pinot, the 2014 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard comes from a high ridge situated between the old hippie villages of Forestville and Graton. This site was initially made famous by Mark Aubert for his wines. The lightest colored of the three Pinots (which are all made from heritage clones of California), this wine reveals baking spices, sweet pomegranate and cherry. It seems to me to be the most complex of the three Pinots, and its light color is in contrast to its flavor depth, which is outstanding. This is a broad, savory, seductive style of Pinot to drink over the next 5-6 years.
