This blend was created as a study in harmony. This wine’s initial scents of ripe black cherry and plum hint at the palate’s potential richness. And yet the wine isn’t so much rich as mouthfilling. A saturating and delicious presence that mimics richness, this bursts with exuberant fruit on the finish, then quietly recedes. This wine feels in every sense complete - calm and placid, with a succulence gently occupying every corner of the mouth.

94 pts/100 Best Wines of the Year/Year’s Best US Pinot Noir - Wine & Spirits Magazine: “The 2013 Last Chapter exhibited a kind of embarrassment of exuberance when tasted for this issue, dark-fruited one moment, red-fruited the next, tense and jittery one moment, rhapsodic and harmonious the next. Tasted over three days, the next impression was one of vibrancy and potential, the strawberry-liqueur saturation promising to evolve into something lasting.”
93 pts - Wine Spectator: “Crisp and focused, with a slight minty edge accenting the raspberry and red plum flavors, lingering on the sleek, open-textured finish.”
93 pts - Vinous: “Deep red. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of red berry preserves, potpourri and spicecake, with a smoky topnote. Sweet, open-knit raspberry and cherry flavors possess convey excellent depth and energy, with juicy acidity adding spine. Rich yet lively and precise, with berries, spices and flowers repeating on the gently tannic, very long finish.”
92 pts - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “Light to medium garnet in color, the 2013 Last Chapter opens with lovely scents of black and red currants and cherries with layers of eucalyptus, forest floor, granite and pretty floral perfume. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with red fruit and savory characters, with nice framing tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing long with the sweet fruit character coming through.”
