James SucklingNotes of ripe cherries and dried cranberries with hints of toasted cloves and chocolate. Some ashes, too. Medium-bodied with juicy crunchiness and chalky tannin structure. Vivid acidity with fresh sour cherries at the end.

VinousThe 2021 Pinot Noir Red Cap is dark and brooding, with a dusty blend of dried strawberries, white pepper and hints of cedar. This flows across the palate with silky textures and ripe red fruits as an acid-driven tension mounts toward the close. Chalky mineral tones and touches of lavender resonate as the 2021 finishes with staining and long.
