This Rosé of 100% Pinot Noir shows a copper-pink color with aromas of strawberry, spicy Carnation blossom, citrus essence, and yeasty notes from six months of sur lie aging. The palate is crisp and elegant, with mineral infused acidity that is focused to a bone-dry finish.

This wine is supple and dense, with layers of red and blue fruits and clove spice. The tannins are broad, mouth-coating and resolved, creating a rich and creamy mid-palate with a long and detailed finish that keeps the flavors pumping.

The Moses-Hall vineyard is in one of the coolest areas of Carneros, close to San Pablo Bay. The constant winds keep it cool, and the well-draining gravelly soils stress the vines and concentrate the flavors. Those aromas and flavors are on full display with soft red fruit notes and an earthy-savory counterpoint.

The 2019 delivers black cherry, cranberry, dried carnation flower, Mexican chocolate-cinnamon, tamari/soy sauce, and dried orange peel, along with a hint of salty, ocean air. The tannins are rich, creamy and densely layered with an opulent and fleshy mid-palate that extends through a full and flavorful finish. Though exceptionally rich and full, this 2019 is tempered with enough mouthwatering acidity to keep the marvelously complex flavors cleansing and refreshing. 2019 is a scintillating version of Jenkins Ranch Pinot Noir.

Rich and inviting, this wine’s aromas open with black cherry, strawberry, black pepper and dark chocolate. Notes of blackberry and plum weave on the palate and meld with hints of fennel and something evocative of salty ocean spray. The wine is deep, dense and full-bodied.

Year after year, this lovingly cultivated vineyard continues to evolve, yielding evermore complex wines. This site produces wines with a rare combination of savory and fruity aromas and flavors, a trait often associated with the finest Pinot Noirs. 2018 is showing more red fruits, such as cherry and cranberry alongside the typically, earthy/savory profile of Moses-Hall. The palate is juicy, and fresh with excellent, fine grained tannins that fan out and build richness to a very long and persistent finish.

This young vineyard, planted in 2012, is improving every year as it enters “adolescence.” The 2018 shows intense and energetic aromas of dried cherry, crushed mint and carnation flower. Taut, nervy and mouthwatering, the fine-grained textures expand across the palate, gaining depth and persistence as the refreshing acidity brings the finish to a juicy resolution. This wine has an astonishing ability to be fruity, savory, very full flavored, yet light and ethereal.
