Potent aromas of pomegranate, orange rind and dank herb converge on the nose of this bottling, which is grown on one of the region's volcanic outcroppings. The palate is awash in juicy red cherry flavors with ample eucalyptus leaf and a minty finish. It's thought-provoking and delicious all at once. - Matt Kettmann

Profile
With a profile reminiscent of the 2023 vintage, this Pinot Noir leans into the dark forest fruit character of Edna Valley’s cooler pockets. Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant unfold alongside a kiss of vanilla.
