"The 2020 Pinot Noir Bentrock Vineyard is a tense, nervy wine. White pepper, mint, orange peel, raspberry and crushed rocks infuse the 2020 with notable brightness. It will be interesting to see if this fleshes out a bit more in bottle. Today, the lines are decidedly stark and touch severe." -Antonio Galloni

"Lively and zippy aromas of raspberry and pomegranate are rounded by rose petal on the nose of this bottling. The clean, tight texture of the palate rides waves of acidity, with brisk red fruit and light spice flavors." -Matt Kettmann
