...complex notes of forest floor, scorched earth, cedar, and spice that develop with time in the glass. I love its texture, it has fine, fine tannin, no hard edges, and a great finish. Destemmed and brought up in one-third new French oak, it’s another rocking effort from Courtney that will keep for a decade or more. (June 2018)
Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard has a drop-dead gorgeous perfume of violets, rose hip tea, warm raspberries and kirsch with suggestions of garrigue, dried lavender, Provence herbs and tilled soil plus a hint of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives a taut frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, supporting the muscular yet wonderfully perfumed fruit, finishing long and earthy. 213 cases were made.
...wonderfully lush, aromatic and expressive. All of the natural richness of the vintage comes through in this ample, voluptuous wine. A rush of succulent red cherry, blood orange, spice, star anise and rose petal builds into the powerful, flamboyant finish. What a gorgeous wine this is.
Well-structured, offering a firm mix of raspberry, licorice, dusty herb and cedar flavors, with the structure and density making this a candidate for short-term cellaring.
