2024 Estate BlackJack Pinot Noir
Aromatics of pomegranate, juicy red plum, and black tea mingle with sarsaparilla and rosehips. Fresh mission fig joins on the palate where fruit weight meets an expressive acidy profile with a hint of oak presence lingering through the long finish. This wine is enjoyable now and will age beautifully. Ⓥ

The 2024 vintage was off to a cool and rainy start, with late bud break leading up to a cool weather pattern in June, bringing a dampness and foggy conditions. Gaining momentum, however, leading to a warm summer and fall, with no dramatic heat spikes, the vintage caught up by September. No weather related stress to the vineyard led to a nice natural ripeness, with all varietals able to be picked at their peak.
