2022 BETHEL HEIGHTS PINOT NOIR AEOLIAN
"The 2022 Pinot Noir AEolian has intense aromas of roasted cranberries, Cara Cara oranges and raspberries with continually blossoming accents of forest floor, mixed tea leaves and spice. Though it's light-bodied with finely astringent tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, the palate offers highly concentrated, nuanced flavors and a very long, ultra spicy finish." Erin Brooks Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 points Drink 2025-36

The 2022 Pinot Noir Aeolian is darkly floral, as a mix of dried violets, lavender and incense forms an enticing bouquet. This is soothingly round and supple, showing a lick of salty minerality up front that perfectly offsets its ripe wild berry fruits. The 2022 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration, with a bitter blackberry tinge and edgy tannins that make for a lovely punctuation to the experience. The Aeolian hails from vines planted in 2001 at 700 feet in the higher elevations of Bethel Heights.

Beam this Aeolian life form up before it is all gone. The wine's aromas of cherry icing and almonds suggest a baked good, while the wet slate note suggests a patio party. Bold tannins support tart pie-cherry and black-tea flavors, along with a trace of horehound. Enjoy 2024-2035.

A vivid, blue-fruited pinot with violet, lavender and dried citrus peel character. Juicy and blooming on the palate, with some chalkiness to its tannins and moderate weight. Flavorful and refreshing with a touch of crispy minerality. Drink now or hold. wine-searcher Price

Deeply structured yet generous at the core, with plump raspberry fruit accented by sassafras, green tea and dusky spice notes. Drink now through 2032. 995 cases made.
