BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Full color but a touch of burned sugar on nose. Full dosage—a made wine 14.5

Simon Field: Nose of praline and hints of hazelnut. Beyond that, vanilla; and beyond that, hints of iodine, incense even. Complex, in other words. The palate does not disappoint, with rich Pinot savory power, hints of tobacco box, and a magisterial finish 17.5

Tom Stevenson: Peppered toast supporting rich, spicedapple and fig fruit 18
