December 2021

2018 The Loch Pinot Noir
95 Points

“This wine offers a wealth of coastal freshness, the acidity coiled and crisp. Earthy barnyard, compost and forest meld well against the tangy red fruit and citrus that seem to linger for days.” — Virginie Boone

2018 Thale’s Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points

“Beautifully aromatic, this wine has lovely layers of cherry, plum and raspberry that meet a continuum of slate and baking spice. A grippy tannin structure provides a foundation of power behind accents of sea spray and lasting acidity.” — Virginie Boone

2019 Wildcat Mountain Pinot Noir
94 Points

“Sumptuous and seductive in rich red-berry fruit, this wine offers layers of bright and sultry oak and baking spice, a mix of cardamom and cinnamon that works to accent it well. A grip of tannin shows the subtle power behind the balanced approach..” — Virginie Boone
