Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2022 Le Caprice Pinot Noir soars out of the glass with intense scents of pomegranate, black cherries, and mulberries followed by hints of violets, Provence herbs, and rosebud tea with a waft of garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impressive tension, with plush tannins and bags of perfumed red and black fruit, finishing with a savory lift. 560 cases were made. Drink 2025-2038

I tasted the 2023 Pinot Noir Le Caprice as a sample just before it was bottled. It has slowly unfolding aromas of cranberry, red cherry, tea leaves and mint, becoming more floral as it airs in the glass. The palate is layered and concentrated with woodsy, earthy flavors evocative of a forest. It’s structured by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and boasts a flourish of spicy accents on the long finish. Drink 2025-2040

From the Sonoma Coast, the 2023 Pinot Noir Le Caprice Estate pours a youthful ruby color and is ripe on the nose with aromas of raspberry liqueur, toasted spice, brambly ripe herbs, and fresh earth. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe tannins that have a bit more breadth and richness, but it retains a refreshing acidity and has a long, spiced finish.
