A study in terrior in one word: Flood. A vibrant purple, there’s a black fruit thrust to the aroma, adorned by a touch of star anise and cola. The flavors are more demonstrative - dark and blue, rippling, pure, saturating, they reach the edge of your mouth the way color reaches the edge of the glass. In its texture the wine is at its most seductive, the purity of fruit held in place by a skidding, gravelly grip.

93 pts - Vinous: “Glistening ruby-red. Smoke-accented red and blue fruits, pungent flowers and succulent herbs on the highly perfumed nose. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering mineral-accented bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors that slowly flesh out and become sweeter with air. Finegrained tannins build steadily on a very long, penetrating finish that echoes the floral and mineral notes.”
92 pts - Wine Spectator: “Pairs backbone with polish, offering rose petal, raspberry and stony mineral accents that slowly unfurl toward refined tannins.”
92 pts - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir The Flood opens with inviting aromas of cranberry jelly, smoked meats, baked blackberries, woodsmoke and nuances of tangerine and sweetred berries. The palate is medium-bodied and über silky with bitters-laced fruits, a finely grained
frame and juicy acidity to lift the finish.”
92 pts - JamesSuckling.com: “A ripe, dark-fruited style with aromas of spiced plums, dark cherries and currants, as well as spicy oak. The palate has a succulent feel with espresso-laced dark cherries holding center stage.”
91 pts - Wine Enthusiast: “The texture and detail elevate this wine… Tones of black cherry, cola and a dusting of ash anchor the palate, with a dash of cold-brewed coffee through the finish.”
