The 2017 Pinot Noir Runway Vineyard comes from a vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley and spent 18 months in 50% new French oak. Its deep ruby yet still translucent color is followed by beautiful sour cherry and ripe strawberry notes. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a round, elegant texture, plenty of underlying structure, and a great finish. It blossoms with time in the glass, showing more spice and floral notes as well as length, and I suspect it will be at its best from 2023-2033.
