Coming from all Goldridge soils, the 2023 Pinot Noir Ryan is from Martini and Calera selections and incorporates 20% whole clusters. Its herbaceous character leans toward a slightly more rustic edge, the nose opening to notes of ripe cherries, mossy earth, and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate takes on more concentration and has a lovely richness, ripe tannins, and classic Russian River character with a hint of warmth. Drink 2026-2040.

Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2023 Pinot Noir Ryan opens with evocative notes of wild blueberries, juicy blackberries, and forest floor, followed by hints of dusty soil and wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and well-knit freshness and muscular blue and black fruit, finishing long and earthy.

(95+ points) The 2023 Pinot Noir Ryan comes mainly from vines planted in 1984 in the Dutton-Widdoes Vineyard, plus 20% from the Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard, planted in 2007. Grapes were harvested on October 2 and 5, and the wine was matured for 15 months in 34% new French oak. The nose is bursting with pure scents of pomegranate, blackberries, mossy bark, cedar and pipe tobacco. The full-bodied palate is sapid and spicy! Its intense, expressive flavors are structured by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, layered finish. It unfolded dramatically for several days after being opened and will benefit from time in the cellar. 1,225 cases were made.- EB

Aromas of crushed cherry, orange peel, rose peel and black tea jump from the glass on the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings savory flavors of Bing cherry, tart cranberry, pithy orange, earthy mushroom, clove and cinnamon before a long and powerful finish that will soften with some time in the cellar. — Tom R.
