Called the best vintage since 2010 by Brian, the 2014 vintage was the third straight vintage featuring big crops, good hang time and no heat spikes. The 2014 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is a plush, surprisingly ripe, even voluptuous effort that offers tons of black fruits, bramble and licorice. While Rosella's Vineyard normally yields a fresher, more acid-driven style, this beauty has some serious fruit and richness. - Jeb Dunnuck

Ripe red cherries and red currants provide the fruit scents for the savory smoked pork and sanguine raw-beef qualities that power the nose on this single-vineyard bottling. Those bloody meats mix with elderberry, ripe red plum, lavender and allspice once sipped, proving complex and tangy but with lingering dark-fruit flavors. — M.K.

Teasing touches of violets and herbs sit lightly atop a broader sweep of well-ripened cherries and plums in the beamy aromas of this immediately inviting wine, yet, if it starts out on the palate as expected with a bit of viscosity and the accent on ripeness, it tightens up noticeably and winds up firmer and less fleshy in feel at the end. It is, again, a wine that very much shows its youth and argues against overly hasty drinking.
