The 2017 offers a highly focused beam of lemon zest and blood orange alongside the more expected strawberry and cherry notes. While refined, this wine is also mysterious and chameleon-like in the glass. The mouthfeel is all-encompassing without being overwhelming. As is typical of the vintage, the 2017 is rich and ripe, with a gracefulness brought on by longer hangtime and acid retention in the vineyard.

Smooth on the palate with a lengthy finish, the 2016 Renegade Ridge Pinot Noir offers vibrant aromatics ranging from blood orange and bittersweet chocolate to cinnamon and Herbes de Provence. What sets this vintage apart from its predecessors is the turn toward dried fruit flavors like blueberries and currants. The palate is generous, expressing hints of juicy mandarin with touches of bittersweet chocolate that lead into a long, smooth finish, supported by silky tannins and rounded acidity.
