This wine opens with vivid aromas of black cherry, plum, clove, and dried meadow grasses that rise from the glass. Our signature technique of including roasted stems in the fermentation process adds a lift of structure and spice to the ripe, plush palate. Integrated flavors of dark fruit lead to a powerful finish with beautiful length.

Ripe and seemingly languid, but has an underlying succulence to the mix of dark cherry, raspberry and plum fruit, while sleek anise, black tea and warm earth accents course through the finish. Reveals a late flicker of pine forest, too. Drink now through 2029. 6,654 cases made.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Blue Jay hails from the Anderson Valley. It delivers a dusty, floral, blue-fruited profile with enticing richness and a deep well of minerality. Black-tea-like tannins grab hold of the tongue on the lengthy finish as the Blue Jay leaves behind a mouthwatering touch of citrusy bite. I like the character and distinctiveness here.
