"Sourced from the eastern half of the vineyard, where the soil is more clay-rich, the 2022 Pinot Noir Mae Estate has pretty yet earth-driven aromas of dried herbs and flowers and turned soil. The palate is silky and vibrant, leading to a similarly earthen finish as alluded to on the nose, supported by granular tannins. This wakes up and comes together a bit in the glass and remains a beautifully crafted Pinot Noir, although the youth of the vines is apparent in the context of the more complete wines in the range."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Mae Estate Vineyard has impressive depth and hits a resonant upper register that the other Pinots in the lineup don't quite reach. Power and finesse come together beautifully in a wine that marries dark cherry fruit with earthy undercurrents and a strong mineral streak. Concentrated yet weightless, it's a gorgeous expression of place, with a finish that lingers effortlessly."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Mae Estate is among the more high-toned Pinot Noirs in the range, opening with an elegant, spice-driven bouquet supported by beaming red fruits and crushed stone aromas. It offers a bit more textural power on the palate, which is otherwise silky and tensile as it carries into a chalky, earth-tinged finish framed by stem-derived tannins."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Mae Estate is scented of briary fruit and nuances of black tea leaves, lavender, sage, bitter orange and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate has a concentrated core of fragrant, layered fruit, finely chalky tannins and energetic acidity. It has a long, perfumed finish with spicy details and will benefit from a few years in bottle."
