The 2021 Pinot Noir Botanica is spicy with an intense burst of peppery wild berries, sage and rosemary complicated by crushed stone and incense hints. A total pleasure on the palate, it’s soothing and round with juicy acidity and vibrant red berry fruits. Cooling minerals and rosy inner florals amass toward the close. Tart raspberry and licorice tones linger incredibly long as the Botanica tapers off long, staining with a coating of fine tannins gently tugging at the palate. - Vinous

As the name and the label suggest, the 2021 Pinot Noir Botanica is an outstanding expression of wild herbs, a fantastic kaleidoscope of wildflowers, and wet stones. A jeweled ruby/magenta color, it’s medium-bodied and has broader shoulders, with more umami undertones, ripe tannins, oceanic sea spray, and a long finish. - Jeb Dunnuck
