This bottling by winemaker Nathan Kandler, from a vineyard 2,000-feet up in the mountains, demonstrates tremendous concentration at stunningly low alcohol. Aromas of mulberry, mace and sandalwood lead into a rich and woody palate that’s reminiscent of a summer-warmed pine forest, where wild elderberry shrubs and plum orchards bake in the sunshine.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Windy Hill Vineyard is one of the more extroverted wines in this range of 2019s. It offers up notes of exotic red berry fruit mixed with scents of star anise, blood orange, cedar, tobacco and whole cluster inflections. Although a bit wild, the Windy Hill has a ton of character, even if it remains unruly.
