"This medium-bodied wine has a firm backbone, juicy red fruit and aromas of flowers, oranges, moss and pine resin. It feels tense yet lifted and vibrant. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard is a more saturated ruby color and is a much more introspective and layered wine, with notes of black cherries, crushed flowers, violets, anise, leather, and dark stones, The palate is building, and while it has fruit upfront that never dissipates, the structure builds and unfold s to salty, mineral-rich earth and keeps going and going for ages. with rich tannins. It™s relatively full-bodied and also has a sanguine mineral depth that lasts on the finish. Drink 2025-2045."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard was fermented with 42% whole clusters and matured for 18 months in 35% new French oak. It has slowly unfurling scents of strawberry, raspberry, orange peel, black tea leaves, mossy bark and incense. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, expansive flavors and Goldilocks ripeness. It™s framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, fragrant finish. 734 cases were made."
