"The 2022 Pinot Noir Starscape handled the rigors of the growing season admirably. Potent and deep, with notable resonance, the 2022 offers up an exotic mélange of dark cherry, plum, spice, lavender, new leather, licorice and gravel. The darker side of Martini clone Pinot comes through in this resonant, super-expressive offering."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Starscape is stellar. Although quite young and just bottled, the 2023 exudes class. Old vines confer gravitas to this dynamic, wonderfully complex Pinot. There's so much to admire. Lavender, spice and menthol build into the masterfully layered finish. This is such a gorgeous wine."
