The 2023 Pinot Noir is a friendly, approachable wine with exotic spice, waxy red-apple peel and hints of dark cherry pit notes. Bright and cheerful, the 2023 boasts an upright structure and a sense of weightlessness. Lovely.

Readers will love the 2023 Pinot Noir, and it's a smoking value in classy California Pinot. Medium ruby-hued, with ripe red fruits, peppery herbs, spice, and floral notes, it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It will continue drinking beautifully through 2033. Drink 2025-2033.
