Looking for a single-minded Pinot Noir? This Reserve wine represents one clone—Pommard—one vineyard and one barrel. Aged entirely in neutral French oak, it is light on its feet, with nice acidity and silky tannins. It is also packed with aromas and flavors of blackcap raspberries, tangerines, Thai basil and bergamot tea.” — Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
