Planted in 2006, this vineyard is one of the newer sites for the "Queen of Pinot," who coaxes a strong-willed, high-strung complement of charcuterie and wild lavender from its vines. Bright red currant and raspberry are met by floral, herbal competition, which vies for attention on the palate, girded by strong tannins and mellow oak.

On solid ground, with a dense, extracted core of zesty wild berry, fresh-turned earth, cedar and savory herb flavors. Tilts toward drying tannins on the finish. Drink now. 545 cases made.
