This blend was created as a study in harmony. This wine’s initial scents of ripe red berries and plums hint at the palate’s potential richness. And yet the wine isn’t so much rich as mouthfilling. A saturating and juicy 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 - Vinous: “Bright magenta. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, potpourri, vanilla and Asian spices, along with a smoky mineral overtone. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering alluringly sweet raspberry liqueur, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out smoothly with aeration. Displays a suave blend of power and finesse and finishes with subtle tannic grip and superb, floral-tinged persistence.”
92 pts - James Suckling: “Delicate aromas of strawberry and citrus with hints of stone and spice. Medium body, firm and silky. Subtle and refined. I like the attractive leanness to the wine.”
91 pts - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “The 2014 Last Chapter comes from Hyland, Shea, Stardance (great name – this is an isolated vineyard with particular indigenous yeasts) and Tresori vineyards matured in 60% new French oak for 12 months. The bouquet is very harmonious and complex, a melange of red and black fruit, quite floral with iris and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, elegant in the mouth, but perhaps just needing a little more weight to come through on the finish. Still, this is a very well-crafted, sensual Pinot Noir.”
91 pts - Wine & Spirits: “What this wines lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in its purity, freshness and mouthwatering buoyancy. Scents of smoke and toast give way to a plush robe of black cherry flavor, juicy, persistent and satisfying.”
