95+ / 100"Gee, this is a good Pinot Noir. Plenty of juicy cherry, a jasmine, rose oil and almost apricot perfume, a bit of spice and something a little earthy. It’s the feel of it, though, that really gets me in. It’s bright, but concentrated, with tight stony tannin, a cool ‘minerally’ aspect to its pure-feeling acidity, with a very long finish that pops with cherry, ripe raspberry, almond meal, and quite some fragrance. It’s sweetly fruited as a young wine, yes, though that structure is the thing. A curious thing to say, perhaps, its that it’s a fine Pinot Noir that sports something of an Italianate character. I love it. It’s touch and go for 96 points. Rated : 95+ Points"

Tasting Notes
From the winery:
The 2023 Pinot Noir is sourced from three different vineyards in the Coal River Valley, including our very own vineyard. Fermented and matured in our tulip shaped concrete vessel, plus a small percentage of French oak.
