Pinot Noir 'Lia's Vyd'

Score

93

"A transparent medium ruby color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Lia's Vineyard is the more lifted of these wines from the Chehalem Mountains. It's rosy, with red cherries, wet stones, and bright highlights, but all ripe and very pretty. It's snappy and medium-bodied, with a more strawberry-noted feel and zesty saltiness that accentuates its approachable character. This is a more lightweight offering that should be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years."

"A cascade of dusty dark florals, cedar-inflected cherries and spice wafts up from the 2023 Pinot Noir Lia's Vineyard. Cool-toned and round, the 2023 sweeps across the palate with waves of tart red berry fruits balanced by juicy acidity. A stern mineral inflection lingers with a tart twang of cranberry as edgy tannins frame the finish."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Lia's Vineyard is the last iteration of this single vineyard from Patricia Green. Matured in 13% new oak, it has alluring aromas of wild cherry, pomegranate, violet, Earl Grey tea and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is generous and perfumed with soft, chalky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long finish with a flourish of spicy accents."
