Fess Parker Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2022

"Soter's 'Estates' wines represents their fascination with the breadth of great vineyard sites located throughout the Northern Willamette Valley. This wine is comprised of Pinot Noir entirely from their Estate holdings, which includes but is no longer limited to their flagship property, Mineral Springs Ranch." —winemaker

"Crafted from up to 100 individual small lots, the appealing Russian River Valley Pinot Noir captures the classic characteristics of this renowned variety and region. Deeply layered and velvet-smooth, offering notes of perfectly ripe blackberry, black cherry, dark plum and cranberry that blend with hints of toast, spice, lavender and rose. Rich oak sweetness characteristics feature on the mid-palate, while soft tannins add intriguing texture." —winemaker

"While the SCME is consistently our most accessible wine each year, this 2014 is still impressively dark, bold and structured. The wine starts with cherries, rose petal and raspberry and finishes with earth, leather and oak. It is pure, dense and tannic. As with previous vintages, this is one serious Pinot Noir that will gain texture and complexity over the next decade." —winemaker

"Avni 2022 Pinot Noir is focused and flavorful, yet harmonious and balanced, with an overlying elegance and velvety mouthfeel. Red fruits dominate the flavor profile with some black cherry, spice, black tea, fresh herbs, and a hint of black cherry, tar and rose petal, finishing with a round texture." —winemaker

"The nose is expressive of wild strawberry, mulberry, rose, and cedar. The palate reveals a harmony between fresh fruitiness and savory richness, with a persistent, vibrant finish." —winemaker

"Named after the matriarch of the Hansel Family. Estate grown, produced from Dijon clones 115, 777 and 943." —winemaker

"Produced from a blend of three clones. This wine is dark purple with notes of bing cherries and red currants. The oak is present but integrated." —winemaker

"Aromas of fresh raspberry compote are complemented by notes of baking spice, and fresh rain on a forest floor. Generous-yet-soft strawberry preserve flavors expand on the palate, with elegant, silky tannins. A mouthwatering acidity glides across the finish." —winemaker

"High Haven captures the essence of California's highest and coolest growing region, and the humble, nostalgic —slightly eccentric — charm of Anderson Valley. This rustic enclave, in the shadow of the giant redwoods, produces world-class Pinot that is deeply aromatic, balancing concentrated fruit with beautiful acidity." —winemaker

"This fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel." —winemaker
