"Baked mulberry, cracked pepper and smoked meat aromas make for a very complex and inviting nose on this bottling from a vineyard named for the late vintner’s daughter. The cohesive character spreads to the sip as well, where cranberry, cherry, dried herb and peppered charcuterie flavors align."
Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"Offers an alluring aromatic profile of wood spice, mulled tea and sous-bois notes, while racy damson plum and blood orange fruit flavors show nice cut and detail. Reveals a pretty savory echo through the lengthy finish as well."

"The 2020 Pinot Noir Ashley's comes from the Rancho Las Hermanas Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills and spent 16 months in 46% new French oak. It sports a medium ruby hue to go with a smoky, earthy, spicy bouquet that includes plenty of darker red berries as well as forest floor and underbrush. Straight and focused on the palate, it has present tannins, good overall balance, and solid length on the finish."
Winemaker Notes:
