I wasn’t sure “infusive” was an actual word when I wrote it down after tasting this astonishing pinot noir made by Ross Cobb. In fact, it is a word: “Having the power or quality of infusion,” according to my musty old two-volume Webster’s. This comes from a foggy, shady site planted on sandy Goldridge soil, not far from Sebastopol—and the wine does seem to infuse the senses with an aromatic fog that you can almost walk around in, noting a spray of juniper, a lattice full of roses, the cool moisture of the soil. There’s a tightness to the structure that will reward aging, but the impression is one of inner strength rather than weight. Wine & Spirits Magazine

Clean, pure, soft... butterfly and unicorn whispers. Needed a few hours to open. In fact I thought it was best the next day (and last glass on the third ). Nose is beautiful. Palate well balanced and smooth.

One of the best that we've help make. Incredibly clean and pure with lots of complex flavor on the nose and palate. Pomegranate, cherry, cinnamon, Asian spice, sappy, Rose stems, rose petal. Amazing.

Red fruit, cherry cola, floral perfumed notes, light bodied. A little too forward for me.
