The 2023 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard offers a spice box nose, blending cedar shavings, cloves, dried black cherries and a subtle whiff of balsam herbs. Lifted and pure on the palate, it shows silken textures and tart wild berry fruits propelled by zesty acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and nearly salty, with crisp mineral tones as tart blackberry saturation echoes over a bed of fine-grained tannins.
