This wine is a feast for the senses. In the glass the wine displays a red-purple hue. Vivid aromas emerge from the glass in concert, with notes of star anise, moss, dark bramble fruit, and cedar bark. The sleek palate is marked by a mélange of structure-focused earthy notes and spice dusted pomegranate reduction, black licorice, and orange oil. Possessing incredible depth, structural integrity, fruit character and a bright acidity, this wine will evolve over time in the glass, in a decanter or in the cellar for years to come.

A small step up over the 2017, the 2018 Pinot Noir X Label plays in the same style with its wild, gamey, exotic aromas and flavors. Lots of peppery black fruits, scorched earth, roasted herbs, and gamey notes give way to a medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir with building tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It should benefit from another year in bottle and drink well for at least 5-7 years, if not a good decade.
