94pts James Suckling
Very snappy, elegant and linear. Well balanced with great acidity, beautiful red fruit and subtle herbs on the nose, then crisp red cherries, cranberries and spearmint on the medium-bodied palate. Made with all estate-grown fruit using 10% whole clusters and just 8% new French oak barrels. Drink now or hold.
92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Pinot Noir comes entirely from estate fruit and was harvested over the course of a month, from September 20 to October 20. It was fermented with 10% whole clusters and matured in used French oak. It has alluring aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, mushroom, earth and spice. The medium-bodied palate is plush and supple with mouthwatering acidity and a long, spicy finish.
92pts Wine Spectator
Shows freshness and energy, with black cherry and blackberry coulis notes laced with bright acidity, while hibiscus, iris and anise fill in the background. Should fill out nicely with modest cellaring.
91pts Wine Enthusiast
A fresh and vibrant nose of dusty cherry, pomegranate, cinnamon and purple flowers jumps from the glass of this Pinot. The palate shows plush texture, juicy acidity and spicy red berry fruit for days.
Winemaker Notes
Brilliant, dark ruby red in color, this wine opens with a bouquet of red cherry, pomegranate, and red apple skin, layered with savory undertones of forest floor and cigar box. On the palate, the wine is lifted and energetic with bright acidity and notable tension, followed by an interplay of wild berries and black tea. Damp earth and red fruit notes persist through the long and lingering finish.
