Vintage Notes

No question about it, 2023 is a vintage for the decade. Cooler spring temperatures delayed bud break with verasion arriving as late as August in some vineyard sites. This shifted harvest later into the fall, requiring even more meticulous farming practices. While this made for a more challenging year, the prolonged growing season allowed for deep and complex flavors to develop. We can’t believe we’re saying this…2023 may best the incredible vintages of 2021 and 2022.

Winemaker Notes

“This broad and opulent Pinot delivers classic flavors of baked cherry, raspberry, cedar and cola spice on the nose, while the palate gives rich tannin, spicy berry fruit and loads of black tea and cinnamon, with a long and nervy finish that displays dynamic tension between tannic grip and orange peel acidity.”
– 94pts, Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast
