Adelaida Vineyards
2020 Pinot Noir
HMR Estate Vineyard
Adelaida District, Paso Robles
$56.99
Tasting Notes:
These esteemed old vines display the compelling attributes of new-world fruit entwined around old-world flavor and structure. Fruit forward aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and musky rose combine beautifully with savory allspice and rich earth. The rare soil combination, over limestone clay, creates both finesse and structure. Upon release, the wine is vibrant and juicy, this flavor profile originates from the natural bright fruit acidity of grapes grown in limestone soils. Overall, one of the more graceful vintages of HMR to sip and savor. Drink now through 2029.

Lavinea Winery
2021 Pinot Noir
Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon
$41.99
Tasting Notes:
This wine highlights the complex diversity that is the Eola-Amity Hills and delivers on the character of the 2021 vintage. The year began with an epic ice storm in the winter, followed by rain at flowering, then a record-setting heat event. After that, we experienced a relatively dry growing season with a few heat events in August, followed by welcome rains and a cooling period in September and October. Typical of the vintage the wine is rich with generous fruit that remains fresh from practiced restraint in the cellar.
Production: 642 cases
