Note di degustazione
Green label. 2017 was a bumper crop and winemaker Chris Fladwood recalls an overflowing winery with every tank full, plus picking bins, yet it certainly hasn't suffered from the larger yields. However, Fladwood does add that the winery only produced the green label this year as he didn't feel he could skim anything off the top for the white label. Certified Salmon Safe and LIVE-certified sustainable. Certified organic by CCOF and biodynamic by Demeter. Incredibly juicy on the nose – like a red-cherry herbal shrub. Driven by ripe red cherry, ripe red plum, with spice and a herbaceousness to the finish. (SCJ)

Limpid ruby-red. Powerful, spice-accented red and dark berries, incense and candied flowers on the seductively perfumed nose; a mineral nuance builds in the glass. Alluringly sweet, sharply delineated cherry, raspberry preserve and rose pastille flavors are complemented by an exotic spice nuance. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing extremely long and sappy, with resonating spiciness and slowly building tannins. 40% new oak.
Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Ranch, from biodynamically farmed grapes, is scented of cinnamon stick, autumn leaves, rose petal and bergamot with touches of fragrant earth, charcuterie and a core of ripe raspberry, strawberry and rhubarb. It’s medium-bodied and silky textured, walking a nice line between bright fruit and savory flavors, finishing fresh and long. This will benefit from another year in bottle.
