Tasting Notes
Expressive and layered, the 2023 Estates Pinot Noir bursts with exuberant red berries and tart cranberry, leading into a plush, velvety mid-palate. Silky, integrated tannins provide structure, while hints of pencil lead and a whisp of fresh pine add a savory, woodsy complexity. Sappy and round, with a note of licorice weaving through the finish, this wine lingers with depth and quiet intrigue.
