Description
Winemaker Notes
Clearly the darkest of the three wines, the 2018 Annapolis Ridge Vineyard shows a dark garnet core with a neon cardinal rim. Aromatically, the wine offers notes of clove, cola and sweet black cherry. On the palate, prominent acidity takes over and assists by throwing wild blueberry, olallieberry and freshly picked tarragon across the tongue. The finish is framed by an intriguing texture of soft velvet
and dust paired with crisp acidity indicative of its aging potential.
Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Annapolis Vineyard comes skipping out of the glass with dramatic notes of candied violets, black raspberries, kirsch and dark chocolate with nuances of lavender, underbrush and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid frame of ripe, plush tannins and lively acidity supporting the perfumed red berry layers, finishing long with loads of spices coming through.

Wine Spectator
This powerfully fruity red is filled with unctuous spiciness to the intense blackberry tart and dried blueberry flavors, showing hints of black licorice. Ends with chocolate croissant accents on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Reductive, leathery and dense in ripe red fruit, this bold wine is made in a big style from a cool, coastal site. Forest floor and black tea contrast well against its richer tendencies, finishing in fresh, citrusy undertones.
