Tense and savory, with layers of spicy herbs and black pepper, together with pure, elegant fruit wrapped in blood-orange zest. The structure is tightly wound, with firm, deeply rooted tannins and almost endless length. The mid-palate unfolds with bitter oranges, seashells, iron and crushed bricks, adding complexity. This is built for the cellar and needs some time. Better from 2029.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is impossible to ignore, offering an array of crushed cherries and minty herbs, along with a hint of clove and stone dust that tempt the senses. Elegance defines the feel, as velvety textures are supported by cool-toned acidity while red and blue fruits swirl across the palate, leaving a crunchy mineral tinge toward the close. A web of fine-grained tannins adds structure and poise as the 2023 finishes with outstanding length and energy, leaving inner rose tones and a pleasantly bitter twang to linger. Fabulous. - Eric Guido

The 2023 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is bursting with cranberry, Italian plum, lilac, shiitake mushroom, tobacco and forest floor aromas, offering additional details with each return to the glass. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with layers of ripe fruit, earth and spice. It’s framed by dusty tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, spicy finish. - Erin Brooks
