The 2016 Pinot Noir comes from a great site on the western side of the SCM and was fermented with 40% whole clusters and spent 11 months in 25% new French oak. Deep ruby/purple-colored, with a rocking bouquet of ripe cherries, mulberries, leafy underbrush, blood orange, and spring flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, layered, and textured. With good acidity, present tannins, and a great finish, it has everything you could want from a Mountain Pinot Noir. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy through 2028.

A lovely wine, the 2016 Pinot Noir from Mindego Ridge reveals a pure bouquet of black raspberries, plums, cherries and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and supple, with an ample core of fruit, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. This will be a delight to follow for the better part of a decade. - William Kelley

From a vineyard high atop the mountain ridges over the Peninsula, this is an extremely focused wine, starting with aromas of soil and rocks against the hearty blackberry backdrop. The palate is fuller bodied yet with earth more than fruit, combining loam, forest floor and mushrooms with black plum and wild berry flavors. Drink now through 2036.
