Wine Advocate, 93 Points

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has pure, layered aromas of pomegranate, blueberry, forest floor, lilac and dark spices. The medium-bodied palate offers high concentration for its slender frame of soft, chalky tannins. Its balanced by vibrant acidity and has a very long, layered finish. It really overdelivers for its modest appellation status.”

“The 2023 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is plump, juicy and forward, all of which give it tons of sheer appeal. Dark cherry/plum fruit, sweet spice, licorice, mocha and lifted savory overtones grace this soft, expressive Pinot.”

Winemaker Notes:

“The 2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is deeply-colored in appearance and has an intriguing nose of blackberry compote, matsutake mushrooms and sandy loam soil. The acidity on the palate stands out and frames the ripe fruit flavors on the palate with some firm tannins coming through on the finish. This should be at its best from late 2025 through 2037.”
