Tasting Notes

Concentrated, with firm and juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors that are generous and velvety, exhibiting a range of star anise and black tea details. A fresh loamy earth note lingers on the long, powerful finish. Drink now through 2026.

MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator, May 2016

This shows plenty of the trademark fragrances and perfumes with hints of wild thyme and a poached cherry and raspberry fruit core; it's really in tune with the established style of this southerly vineyard. The palate has crunchy fruit flavors set amidst sturdy tannins and looks full of promise. Drink now.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, May 2015

The 2013 Last Chance Pinot Noir has a medium ruby-purple color and nose of red currants, black cherries and dark chocolate with hints of menthol, dried herbs and violets. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with bramble berry flavors and an elegant, tightly knit structure of satiny tannins and great frshness, finishing long with a herbal lift.
