(94+ points) A youthful ruby hue, the 2023 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills is crafted from rocky volcanic soils and exhibits a nervy, coiled character yet already shows compelling depth. It reveals notes of grenadine, cherry, wildflowers, and fresh herbs. Compact and angular, with crisp acidity and firm tannins, this wine will reward patience and evolve beautifully in bottle. Drink 2027-2045. - Audrey Frick

The 2023 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills was fermented with 30% whole clusters and matured for 11 months in 5% new oak. It has layered aromas of strawberry, rhubarb, rooibos tea, mushroom powder and flint. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with floral red fruit. It’s structured by refined, grainy tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, expressive finish. - Erin Brooks

The 2023 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills opens with an array of dried roses, geranium, black raspberry and chalk dust. Playful up front, it shows tactile mineral tones and brisk acidity to balance, while a wash of ripe red and black fruit settles on the senses. Edgy tannins add form yet do not get in the way of the 2023’s lively persona as tart berry concentration lingers. -- Eric Guido
