The Wines Inside the 12 Nights Collector’s Case
Here’s a closer look at the wines we chose, along with some of the reviews and awards we’re proud to share.
2015 Pinot Noir
The earliest vintage in the case takes us back to 2015. In his 2023 retrospective, Owen Bargreen highlighted concentrated cherry and raspberry fruit, mineral depth, and a soft texture. Josh Raynolds’ Vinous review also noted floral persistence and layered red fruit. Together, those reviews capture the detail that makes returning to a library bottle so rewarding.
2017 Reserve Pinot Noir
Our 2017 Reserve offers another perspective on the same vineyard and vintage as the Pinot Noir that follows. Christy Canterbury, MW, praised its finesse, integrated oak, and seamless texture. Her notes move from red currant and cherry to tobacco leaf and savory spice. It’s a thoughtful pairing for anyone who enjoys comparing two expressions of one growing season.
2017 Pinot Noir
Raspberry, rose, cherry, and cinnamon run through Tim Fish’s Wine Spectator review of this vintage. Paul Gregutt’s Wine Enthusiast notes emphasize elegance, balanced acidity, and a citrus lift. Beside the Reserve, this bottle gives you a chance to explore the nuances that caught two reviewers’ attention in our 2017 wines.
2018 Pinot Noir
The 2018 Pinot Noir earned 93 points from both Wine & Spirits and Wine Enthusiast, along with an Editors’ Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. In that review, Paul Gregutt highlighted raspberry, cranberry, and Bing cherry, with baking spice and soft, silky tannins. It’s a well-recognized library selection we’re pleased to bring back to the table.
2018 Chardonnay
Our first Chardonnay in the collection brings its own share of recognition, including Double Gold at the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Paul Gregutt’s Wine Enthusiast review described apple and pear, touches of peach and spice, and balanced oak toast. JamesSuckling.com also noted a creamy texture and savory pastry character.
2019 Family Series Pinot Noir
For many of our members, the Family Series is a familiar place to begin. The 2019 vintage received 92 points from Decanter and JamesSuckling.com, plus Double Gold at the 2022 SavorNW Wine Awards. JamesSuckling.com’s review found cherry, rosemary, and hibiscus, followed by juicy red fruit and nutmeg.
2019 Founders Series JLK Chardonnay
Named for Julia Lee Knudsen, JLK carries a family connection that makes sharing it especially meaningful. This 2019 Chardonnay received 95 points from Decanter’s Clive Pursehouse, the highest individual score highlighted in this case. His review noted white tea, chamomile, salted lemon, and pronounced mineral character, with vivid acidity and lasting freshness.
2021 Family Series Pinot Noir
With 94-point reviews from both Vinous and Wine Spectator, this vintage gives collectors plenty to explore. Eric Guido’s Vinous review emphasized velvety texture, fresh acidity, and a long finish. The wine also appeared in Wine Spectator’s June 15 & 30, 2024 Top Wines section and earned an Editors’ Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast.
2021 Founders Series CCK Pinot Noir
CCK honors our co-founder, Calvert C. Knudsen, and his belief in this hillside. Clive Pursehouse’s 94-point Decanter review described dark fruit, lilac, and earthy aromas, followed by black cherry, herbs, pomegranate, and blood orange. Eric Guido’s Vinous review added praise for its supple texture, fine tannins, and long floral finish.
2022 Talking Blocks Series Backstory Pinot Noir
Backstory invites a closer look at the vineyard through our Talking Blocks series. Owen Bargreen awarded this vintage 94 points, noting raspberry, sage, and earth. Jeremy Young’s International Wine Report review highlighted cranberry, cherry, and lavender, with fine tannins and lively acidity. There’s plenty here for the wine lover who enjoys following the details from bottle to bottle.
2022 Family Series Chardonnay
The third Chardonnay in the case offers a more recent vintage alongside our 2018 and 2019 selections. Decanter’s Clive Pursehouse awarded it 93 points, highlighting citrus, chamomile, saline minerality, and a persistent finish. It also earned Gold and Reserve Regional Class Champion honors at the 2026 Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition.
2023 Talking Blocks Series Snapshot Pinot Noir
Snapshot closes the collection with our most recent vintage in the case. Owen Bargreen and Paul Gregutt each awarded it 94 points. Gregutt’s review highlighted raspberry, spice, and chocolate notes, with balance and finesse. Additional 93-point reviews from four publications give this final bottle a particularly strong set of press highlights.
