2017 Alyssa: The 2017 wines started fermentation and finished barrel ageing beautifully clean, going from barrel to bottle unfiltered; the results are enticing in the glass.  Alyssa's Impressive aromatics offer notes of dusty rose and forest loam with hints of leather and spice, highlighting a backbone of strawberry and blackberry preserves.  In the mouth, the approach is bright and balanced, beautifully coating the palate and filling the mouth.  Smooth tannins and balanced acidity on the approach round bright red fruit and a lingering finish.  While this wine will be approachable young, it will age and develop exceptionally in the cellar over the next 15 to 20 years.

2017 Nipple Hill: Nipple Hill Pinot noir crafted from single barrel fermentation parades in front of your eye with a deep garnet color and flashes of indigo as the wines swirls in the glass. There are deep notes of cherry, cigar, cocoa and cola. Savory and spicy with hints of wild strawberry, cinnamon and clove mingled with hints of oregano, thyme and orange peel. The finish is long and rich with a lovely balance of acidity and supple tannins.   Kelly Kidneigh, Winemaker

2017 Pearl Chardonnay: Pale yellow straw in color with alluring aromatics of lemon curd, wet stone with a hint of vanilla and honeysuckle. In the mouth, bright acidity on the approach is richly balanced by a smooth mid-palate and is beautifully enhanced with a long finish.  This is an excellent food wine that, while accessible now, will develop beautifully in the cellar; nicely for the next fifteen years plus.  Kelly Kidneigh - Winemaker
