Deft. Deft. Deft.

 

A Story: Mom’s 91, a matriarch with all her marbles, a master gardener and a bright light to anyone who knows her as anything other than Saint. 

The Cliff Notes:  The wine is crystalline purple red. The nose is pungent spice, vibrant cherry, musky with a hint of smoke, five spice and green tea. On the palate it’s a circular and fully encompassing attack, leading to super deft red and orange fruits followed by tarragon. The finish is long with a perfect balance of tan spice ending on an evaporative tailout of rootbeer.

The Building of: We are proud of these six best barrels, wild-yeast fermented in wood and stainless steel then 100% barrel aged for 19 months (two twice filled, four neutral barrels). Bottled unfiltered in April 2025.

Ageability: We absolutely recommend that you consider decanting to get it some air within its first three years. This wine should easily climb in complexity beyond ten years.

Vineyards: Our dry-farmed, certified organic St. Dolores Estate (15 years) continues to bring that anomaly of both structured while at the same time juicy, from the vines to the wines. It’s a pretty place, and we are thoughtfully farming the idea of substantial from it.

Reviews

The 2023 Pinot Noir St. Dolores Estate wafts up with a dusty mix of rose petals, shaved blood orange and licorice-tinged cherries. Silken textures soothe as masses of tart red berry fruits saturate, o!set by a subtle citrus twang and cooling acidity. Youthfully dense yet balanced, it 8/4/25, 6:25 PM Page 2 of 3 leaves fine-grained tannins to mingle with a tart blackberry note.            94 pts — Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2025
