Despite a challenging vintage with 25% frost loss, the estate delivered a wine that surpassed expectations, blending power and finesse in perfect harmony.

Aromas & Flavors:
On the nose, this Pinot Noir unfolds with bright red and black fruit notes—think black cherry, blueberry, and plum—intertwined with floral hints of crushed violet and rose petals. A subtle menthol undertone adds complexity, while raw cocoa and espresso nuances emerge with air. The palate is medium-bodied yet dense, offering a velvety mouthfeel balanced by fine-grained tannins and a mineral-driven finish.

Critics praise its energetic purity and saline lift, with Burghound noting its “beautifully refined, firmer finish” and Wine Advocate highlighting its “pretty and feminine” character. Decanter suggests cellaring until 2024–2040, while John Gilman predicts evolution into a “very good” wine by 2025–2060.
