Tasting Notes
Subtle hints of sage, clove and vanilla add further complexity to the nose of bright cherry and pomegranate. On the palate, layers of fruit continue to evolve with flavors of crushed red cherry and bramble berry. The structured palate provides a round and soft mouthfeel with bright acidity, silky tannins and a touch of earthy spice on a long gentle finish.

Our 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir reflects the cool climate and well-drained soils of our estate vineyards as well as the unique complexity brought on by multiple clones. Pommard 4 clone from Doctor’s vineyard brings balanced structure, earthiness and velvety tannins to this blend and is a favorite clone in the SLH. Smith Vineyard is planted to Calera clone, which is known for its tight small clusters and brings depth, rich color and minerality to the blend. Finally, fruit from Lone Oak vineyard, coming from our famed Orchestral block planted in 2013, duplicating mass variation of many burgundy vineyards with many clones, increases the blend's complexity.
