Summary

Intriguing aromas of raspberry, blood orange zest, Bing cherry, pomegranate, juicy Santa Rosa plum, pink peppercorn, forest floor and a hint of radish top abound. Reflecting the aromas, the palate is bursting with vibrant red fruits, offering up additional notes of cranberry, wild strawberry, hints of wild blueberry, thyme and cherry tobacco. The finish is long and juicy with fine, smooth tannins and beautifully balanced acidity. A real treat to enjoy now, this Pinot Noir will surely age for decades to come. Enjoy!

The 2023 Pinot Noir Heritage is a blend from the estate’s oldest vineyards, speciﬁcally Ambassador’s, planted in 1953, and de Brye, planted in 1976, plus a touch from the Sessions Block, planted in 1999. Rich and explosive, the 2023 dazzles right out of the gate. Readers will ﬁnd an old-school Pinot Noir of uncommon elegance and complexity. The 44% whole clusters add spiciness and textural ﬁnesse. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2023 spent ten months in French oak barrels, 25% new. Magniﬁcent.— Antonio Galloni

Fruit-driven and perfumed aromas of red cherry, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, dried herbs and rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine-boned tannins, finishing with focus and precision. Made with an average vine age of 33 years with 44% whole cluster fermentation, grown at an elevation between 470–830 feet. Drink or hold.— James Suckling

Elegant and finely detailed, this lets rose hip, rooibos tea and savory hints take the lead, while a core of blood orange and red currant coulis follows close behind. Shows a chiseled edge on the minerally finish, with the fruit lingering in a perfumed manner. Best from 2027 through 2038.— James Molesworth
