Winemaker Notes

The 2020 Nobles Vineyard Pinot Noir’s aroma elegantly opens with blueberry compote, dark cherry and dried citrus peels, followed with a touch of baking spice and a hint of forest floor. The palate’s bright entry leads to notes of cranberry, red raspberry and a sprinkle of black tea, while a crisp acidity supports silky tannins to a clean finish.

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

Critical Acclaim

WE93
Wine Enthusiast
Bountiful black-cherry flavors and good balance make this full-bodied wine difficult to resist. Black-fruit flavors are rich and well concentrated, backed by a light touch on the oak spices that emerge on the finish and add nice complexity.

Wine & Spirits

This carries the forest green scent of the far-coast hills, a savory pinot noir with mineral intensity. The wine’s cherry-red fruit ripens on the eastern, leeward slopes of the second ridge in from the Pacific, that ripeness tamed by an earthy evergreen scent lasts for minutes, as if breathing the air at the edge of a redwood grove.

Connoisseurs' Guide

Davies has come up with a most attractive slate of Pinot Noirs in 2020 that reminds that a good many successful wines can be had from a vintage on the North Coast that had more than its fair share of challenges. A perennial high performer from the Nobles Vineyard in the cool Sonoma Coast, this edition is a deep and incisively varietal working that captures explicit, very pure, cherry and plum fruit sweetened by a judicious touch of oak. A concise and graceful Pinot rather than one that goes for density and heft, it is impeccably balanced and continuously focused with terrific fruity stamina.

Wine Spectator
Enticing, with gently mulled raspberry and red cherry notes mixed with touches of forest floor, licorice root and incense. Polished finish. Drink now through 2025.
