14.3%. This one is a bit on the jammy side for me. Has the acid structure to support it, but finishes on a sweet raspberry note that becomes tiring after a glass.

A blend of a couple vineyards of Pinot Noir. Initially offered first. Nice nose, with plum and blackberry fruit. Well balanced. Good complexity. A solid 92 in my notes. CB 92+

Cherry and blackberry with a chewy middle and excellent acid finish. Nose is classic SLH. Solid from start to finish.

Balanced with more fruit than acidity but very earthy on the back end with great lingering flavor.

delicious and surprisingly delightful with a hint of fun. a great food wine or spot on to get your neighbors drunk before a cul-de-sac car wash.
