Rebecca’s Reserve Pinot Noir Vertical Tasting

Sessions at 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm. 24 seats per session.

Rebecca’s Reserve comes from one small, stubborn block. It’s 0.27 acres — planted in 1992 at 4×4 spacing, on marine sedimentary soils threaded with red clay at 727 feet elevation. The rows are so close together that a standard tractor doesn’t fit. That density was intentional, and it shows in the wine: smaller berries, finer tannins, a linear precision that sets this block apart from everything else on the estate.

In this seated, winemaker-led tasting, Kim Kramer pours six vintages — 2017 through 2023 — and walks you through what each one is saying. You’ll taste a warm, generous 2018 beside a cool, structured 2019. You’ll see what an extreme heat year does (2021) and what a long, patient season produces (2022). Two vintages are missing from the lineup — 2016 and 2020 — because the block didn’t yield enough to make the wine. That kind of honesty is baked into how we farm.

This isn’t a competitive tasting and there are no scores. It’s an hour and a half of getting to know a single piece of ground — vintage by vintage — until the block starts to feel familiar. Kim will share the full story: the winemaking decisions, the growing season, the why behind each bottle.

All vintages poured at the tasting are available to purchase on-site. Library bottles (2017–2019) are available in limited quantities.
