Soft, almost silky, this pale and pretty wine shows light cherry and chocolate flavors. Hints of ash and cola seep into the finish, along with herb and dried leaf.

Juicy and acidic, the Appellation Series Pinot Noir offers more than just a hint of tomato leaf and pungent herb. Orange peel, citrus and tangy berry fruit flavors highlight a wine of medium concentration and length.

The very limited bottling from the estate vineyard blends the flavors of the regular estate and Appellation Series Pinots—but with more grip and presence. Strawberry and cranberry fruit, a mineral underpinning, and dried herb complete the picture. Good balance.

Quiotee’s Lair is named for one of winemaker Greg Sander’s children. A special selection from the estate vineyard, planted in 1980, it is a low-yield (one ton per acre), own-rooted, Pommard clone pinot of exceptional power. Oaky, leathery, earthy flavors with a potent resinous scent recall a certain illicit weed. Finally, the wine slides into a finish loaded with chocolate, coffee and butterscotch. There’s nothing subtle here, but plenty to like.

This is bright and clear in the glass, it shines like a ruby. Light, with sweet/tart candy cherry fruit flavors, it tastes of cherry lifesavers and tart cranberry. Fun, pretty and solidly fruity, it is very appealing. But it seems a bit insubstantial for the price.
