The palate is medium-bodied, with a polished and fine texture, a silky feel, and clean elegance through the finish.

Aromas of gravel dust, pine tar and smashed blue fruits come to the fore with whispers of violet florality. The palate shows a core of red and blue brambles, a nearly feral character to them. The savoury elements are followed by dried herbs, black tea, and a touch of mace. There's an intense saline throughline that crescendos at the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e93 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eJames Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eIt's one of the first 2023 Sonoma pinots to be released and a great reflection of the long, cool growing season.

Bright, aromatic and lifted, it offers up an exotic mélange of crushed red berry fruit, cedar, cinnamon, pipe tobacco and dried herbs. Strong floral and savory inflections lend energy throughout. The 2023 is light on its feet and quite delicate, not to mention long on personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e92 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Spectator \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eFresh and focused, with raspberry and blood orange coulis lined with rooibos tea and savory notes.
