I loved the 2018 Pinot Noir Ashley's, which offers a pure, elegant, complex style that carries lots of red fruits, spicy incense, flowers, and a touch of briny, marine-like influence. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and elegant, it has good acidity and fine tannins.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Fess Parker Ashley's Pinot Noir offers excellent complexities and depth of fruit. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits attractive aromas and flavors of savory spices, dried leaves, earth, dried fruit, and wood. Enjoy it with grilled, mint leaves-accented lamb chops.

Roasted black-plum, vanilla-touched oak and smoke aromas make for a hearty nose on this bottling. Smoked cherry and berry flavors meet with savory pork roast on the sip, where the oak is strong but judiciously employed.
