Vintage & Winemaking

The Art of Making Our Wine

93 Points, 2017 Baileyana Pinot Noir S-Bar: “Saturated garnet. Spice-accented red fruit preserve, vanilla and exotic spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a suave floral note as the wine opens up. Juicy, broad and fleshy on the palate, offering alluringly sweet raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that deepen and become spicier and livelier on the back half. Finishes smooth and gently smoky, showing lingering cherry and floral character on an impressively long, subtly tannic finish.” —Josh Raynolds, January 2021
