Classic Russian River character from a dry-farmed vineyard is on display here, with a nose full of cherry, raspberry and cola spice aromas. The palate has a charming balance between crushed raspberry, mint and floral flavors and the grip of some ageworthy tannin. Drink 2028–2040.

Emeritus Vineyards is the second effort of Brice Cutrer Jones upon selling Sonoma-Cutrer, established in 1999. The Halberg bottling is from the estate vines planted in 2000 and is a blend across several clones on the site (up to 11). The aromatics are elegant, with dried rose petals, wild fresh strawberries and whispers of gravelly minerality. The palate is lively, with red and blue fruits, spicy clove and chicory root and a raspberry leaf element that frames the finish.

An umami-rich nose of black plums, cherries and figs. A medium to full body shows flavors of blackberries and black cherries. The tannins give an espresso-like, plum skin sensation.
