The 2010 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard comes across as very tight, but then opens up, with plums, black cherries, tar, minerals and licorice some of the nuances taking shape in the glass. The 2010 UV needs another year or two in bottle at the very least. There is an element of unrestrained wildness that runs through the 2010 UV. The heavy presence of clay in this site comes through in the wine’s broad-shouldered personality. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020. - Antonio Galloni (2/2012)

Builds from a subtle mix of fresh earth and dark berry to touches of red and black licorice, red candy, rhubarb, spice and cocoa, gliding along on a persistent, graceful finish. Drink now through 2022. 778 cases made. — JL (09/2013)
