Our 2018 Blue Jay is sourced on steep hillsides. The aspect and light gravelly soils in these very rugged sites combine to create optimal ripening conditions. The resulting wines consistently present fruit of great depth and character. Focused and elegant with luscious cherry fruit and
lifting acidity

Ripe and seemingly languid, but has an underlying succulence to the mix of dark cherry, raspberry and plum fruit, while sleek anise, black tea and warm earth accents course through the finish. Reveals a late flicker of pine forest, too. Drink now through 2029. 6,654 cases made.

This expression of extremely ripe Pinot Noir are for lovers of the fuller-bodied expression of the grape. The palate is rich with soft, plushy tannins and slightly elevated (14.4%) alcohol. Notes of bursting blackberry, boysenberry jam and prunes, alongside earthier tones of fresh fennel, forest floor and chocolate.
