"The 2023 Pinot Noir Comptche Ridge is quite a distinctive wine, just as the other wines in this range are. Salty, irony and intensely structured, it has the characteristic fruit clarity that runs through all of these wines. Tingly acids lift the pomegranate-tinged finish, leaving the palate reeling with a really attractive dustiness."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Comptche Ridge is scented of blueberry, blackberry, charcuterie, juniper and lilac. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with concentrated, floral flavors. It™s framed by chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, perfumed finish."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Comptche Ridge is powerful and expressive, with pure scents of wild berries, lavender, Earl Grey tea leaves and complex undertones of aniseed and iodine. The medium-bodied palate is impressively concentrated, velvety and energetic, and it boasts a very long, highly perfumed finish."
