"The 2023 Pinot Noir Elliott emerges from a section within the Hellenthal Vineyard. Bold and racy, with gorgeous fruit purity, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Crushed red berry fruit. Blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper race across the palate. Floral and mineral top notes drive the finish. The 2023 is an attractive wine, although it loses some depth with aeration."
