"Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the 2018 Pinot Noir Las Hermanas Vineyard comes from a site in the Sta. Rita Hills and was 50% destemmed. Its translucent ruby color is followed by a pretty, stemmy, Dujac-like nose of ripe cherries and spring flowers. Nicely textured on the palate, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced, this elegant, seamless Pinot Noir will benefit from a year in bottle and cruise for 7-8 years in cold cellars. It's beautifully done." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Medium ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Las Hermanas Vineyard has bright cranberry and pomegranate fruits with tones of tobacco leaves, aniseed, graphite and lemon peel. The medium-bodied palate is grainy and fresh with intense, spicy fruits and a long finish loaded with fragrant floral perfume." -Erin Brooks

"Loaded with herbs on the nose, this bottling bursts forth with aromas of juniper, bay leaf, olive tapenade and cherry tomato. The tapenade elements carry through the sip, alongside tart berry and more herb flavors." -Matt Kettmann
