Description
Crunchy black cherry, tobacco, bramble, rose hips, and clove characteristics that provide a sweet entry on the palate and culminate in a long, powerful finish.

Spicy cologne lifts from the 2021 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard, with both high-toned and darker notes of sage, menthol, bergamot, and cranberry cocktail. Medium to full-bodied, it’s tightly coiled, with tremendous length, gripping ripe tannins, a bright spine of acidity, and mouthwatering salinity that lasts long on the finish. It offers up great mineral texture and will need 3-5 more years in bottle. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard was fermented with 40% whole clusters, and the wine was matured for 18 months in 45% new French oak. It’s bursting with a kaleidoscopic perfume of strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate and nuances of lavender, licorice and bitters. The light-bodied palate is elegantly styled, with understated, spicy fruit, vibrant acidity, chalky tannins and a very long, layered finish. It opens dramatically as it airs in the glass and will benefit from time in a decanter.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard is a spicy blend of cloves, cinnamon sticks, and cedar shavings, complementing medicinal cherries. This easily flows across the palate, taking on tension through a blend of tart boysenberry, raspberry and sour citrus. It finishes long and tannic, holding its power in reserve, sapid with repleting floral notes. The Paul Gerrie is produced using 40% whole clusters and 45% new French oak.

The wine’s blueberry, mocha and almond aromas are like the best trail bar ever. Bing cherries rule the palate, where complementary flavors of bittersweet dark chocolate and black coffee ply their trade. The tannins are velvety, the acidity explosive.
