The 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard has a pale to medium ruby-purple color with scents of dried orange peel, cranberry, rose petal, potpourri, wild blackberries, black cherries, oolong tea leaves, tobacco and peppery notes. The light to medium-bodied palate is savory with firm, grainy tannins, good freshness and a spicy finish.

From a tiny parcel in the Horseshoe Vineyard, the 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard Black Label reveals a deep ruby/purple color to go with a powerful, meaty bouquet of blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, crushed rocks, and hints of iodine. This vineyard always produces a rich, powerful, mineral-laced wine, yet the tannins here are incredibly polished, it has full-bodied richness, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's easily one of the standouts in the lineup as well as the vintage.
The 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard is one of the most distinctive wines in this range and also one of the Pinots that seemed to deal with the rigors of the growing season particularly well. Deep, mysterious and resonant, the 2017 has so much to say. Sweet tobacco, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice and earthy notes meld into a core of black cherry and plum fruit. The 2017 has a distinctive savory quality, even though it was made with fully destemmed fruit.
Bright ruby. Scented, raspberries and strawberries, detailed, nuanced, lifted if somewhat tighter nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, red fruits, detailed, lovely body to it, red fruits, detailed, firmer, long finish.
