2022 Fortunati Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills

2021 Fortunati Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley
Solid and direct, with a juicy core of red and black currant backed by singed tobacco and alder notes. This goes relatively easy on the toast, allowing the fruit to win out on the finish. Drink now through 2032. 272 cases made. –JM

2020 Fortunati Pinot Noir,
Sta Rita Hills
This has an enticing mulberry and loganberry fruit profile, with a sleek, focused feel. Light savory notes add good energy, and there's minerally drive through the finish. Solid. Drink now through 2027. 400 cases made.
