"Clean and undeniably beautiful aromas of black cherry compote and cherry liqueur are leveled by earthy scents of forest floor on the enticing nose of this single-vineyard expression. There's a tight grip on the palate, where a black-rock minerality and well-integrated bay leaf flavor balance the core of vibrant, lush red fruit." — Matt Kettmann

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Rancho La Viña Vineyard is the most nuanced of the wines in the range. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, sweet spice and licorice are all amplified. Broad and ample on the palate, with tremendous depth, the 2021 is a rock star. I love the intensity here. The 60% stems are pretty much buried. This is a fabulous expression of the Sta. Rita Hills." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina Vineyard is cut from the same cloth, with perhaps a touch more richness and density, as well as a softer mouthfeel. Ripe cherries, black raspberries, black tea, and some meaty, peppery notes emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a beautiful mouthfeel and outstanding length." -Jeb Dunnuck
