"The 2023 Pinot Noir Holder Vineyard has pure, inviting aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, cola, potpourri and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with crunchy, red berry flavors. It's framed by powdery tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a long, kaleidoscopic finish. It will benefit from cellaring."
