A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: An open and inviting pinot noir with great depth of flavour despite a lighter mouthfeel. Tannins contribute a modicum of grip and texture on the expansive palate that offers both fresh and dried cherry fruit, wildflower, tilled earth, iron, and very delicate wood spice. Some signs of maturity are beginning to set in and a touch of acetic acid is noted. Yet there is still tang and energy on the palate along with memorable length. Best now to 2025. Tasted September 2023. Score - 90 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com) Price $ 34.95
