"The 2022 Pinot Noir Carson Phillips Vineyard is understated and coy, whispering up from the glass with only hints of cherry cola and spice. This displays round and pliant textures along with juicy acidity that propels its ripe wild berry fruits across the palate. The 2022 leaves a staining of primary concentration, finishing with dramatic length, a coating of fine-grained tannins and a glorious perfume." -Eric Guido

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Carson Phillips Vineyard comes from vines planted in 2000 in deep volcanic soils. Its raspberry and rhubarb fruit notes are accented by touches of woodsmoke, pipe tobacco, autumn leaves and licorice. Medium-bodied, silky and mouthwatering, it offers nuanced layers of wild berry, tobacco and earth, and it has a long, layered finish." -Erin Brooks

"This Pinot Noir comes from Carson Phillips Vineyard in the northwest end of the Dundee Hills, just above Bronson Creek. Organically farmed, it was fermented in two lots, one completely destemmed and the other with partial whole cluster. Briny aromatics mix with sweet berries and blood oranges. There is a fullness to this wine, a melange of ripe red berries, tart citrus and tomato leaf herbaceous character close around a core of earth-driven minerals and a precise, focused fruit finish."
