2018 Volcanique Pinot Noir
The Volcanique cuvée is a selection of outstanding barrels from the vineyards we work with in the Dundee Hills. The wine showcases the savory quality, the fruit purity, and the fine-grained texture that characterizes the deep, red volcanic clay of these hills. The 2018 is an excellent example, with its delicately floral fruit aromas, silky texture and structural finesse. As with all of our wines, it has the depth and structure to age gracefully for many years.

94 points – Wine Spectator
Silky and elegantly layered, with raspberry and strawberry blossom notes, which are accented by orange zest and black tea and linger on a polished finish.
91 points – Wine Enthusiast
Pretty cherry fruit shines brightly here, with a seam of blood orange adding fresh acidity. This is a clean, well-delineated wine.
91 points – Vinous
Ripe red and blue fruit aromas show fine definition and complementary suggestions of candied flowers, smoky minerals and allspice. Juicy and broad on the palate. Dusty tannins build slowly on the persistent finish, adding frameowkr and gentle closing grip.
