The star in the eye of the dragon, the 2022 Pinot Noir Rastaban comes from the estate vineyard and sports a ruby hue in the glass. Its notes of dark, sweet, mixed berries, crushed flowers, forest herbs, and spiced orange are followed by a medium-bodied red that carries a lovely electric energy, with wonderful ripeness to tie it together. It has a lot of crystalline purity and good length on the finish, with ripe tannins. It's delicious now and will age with ease over the coming 10 years.

Generous and polished, with multilayered raspberry and guava flavors accented by mint and dusky spices as this finishes with refined tannins. Drink now through 2032. 500 cases made.
