Comprised of fruit mostly from Fiddlestix, Radian, and La Rinconada, this 2023 has begun drinking very well right out of the gate. The wine shows complex red and blue fruits, a touch of minerals, some baking spices, fresh herbs and forest floor in a medium bodied frame and with silky texture. Great natural acidity provides lift and length. We expect a minimum of 8-10 years of aging potential.
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "Wild and classic Sta. Rita Hills red fruits, sassafras, rose, and sappy herb aromas and flavors all define the 2023 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, which was destemmed and comes from a mix of sites throughout the appellation. Medium-bodied, fresh, and focused, it offers ripe fruit and a round, supple mouthfeel supported by rock-solid acidity. It’s beautifully done and a textbook example of this terrific region. Drink 2025-2035."
