Varner, Hidden Block, Spring Ridge Vineyard, Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains 2014

“Bursting from the glass with notes of smoky cassis, elderberry, pomegranate and nori, the 2014 Pinot Noir Hidden Block Spring Ridge Vineyard cuts a broad, lavish swath across the palate, revealing velvety tannins, an ample core of ripe, dark fruits and a long, generous finish. It’s among the fleshier and more generous of these four Pinot Noirs, and it’s already drinking well.”-91WA, 2018-2028
