The 2019 Pinot Noir Raschen Ridge is deep, pliant and super-expressive. It emerges from a block between the East and West Ridges planted in 2002 and 2003 on very poor soils at elevation. It possesses notable depth and stature. Immensely distinctive, black cherry, plum, spice, licorice and mocha. There’s real depth and substance here. The 2019 is a knock-out. (Drink between 2024-2036)
This vineyard, which sits behind the winery, is planted with high vine density and produces lower yields. The 2019 Pinot Noir Raschen Ridge is fragrant of violets, mountain herbs, and pure cherry fruit. The palate is a bit fleshier, with energetic tension on the finish. It is layered and floral, with incense, black raspberry, and turned earth, as well as warming spice. Drink 2024-2039.
