  Sultry aromas of rose and lavender carry the nose of this earthy, coastal wine. Flavors of wild raspberry, strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb weave around crisp, seamless acidity. Light in style, it is complex and beautiful.

  Vibrant, with lively acidity backing the concentrated currant, cherry and raspberry flavors. Reveals chiseled minerality midpalate. The powerful finish is pure and focused. Drink now through 2025.

  A little less forceful and not as obvious in its ripeness as some, this bright and brilliantly fruity Pinot is an exceptionally lithe and agile rendition that belies any notion that varietal success depends somehow on swagger and heft. It is medium-full-bodied with just the right amount of lifting, mouthwatering acidity to keep it lively and wonderfully well-sustained at the finish, and it is both rich and nuanced in manner that, while entirely fascinating right now, makes for very easy predictions of a long and increasingly complex life ahead.

  Coming from the Sonoma Coast, the ruby-hued 2017 Pinot Noir Terre De Promissio Vineyard offers a spice-filled bouquet of ripe cherries, cranberries, flowery incense, smoke, and forest floor. It's a rounded, nicely textured 2017 that has sweet tannins, plenty of upfront fruit, and a great finish. It's another beautifully complete wine that's going to evolve gracefully. Rating: 92+
