A warm, broad, generous wine that's indulgent in ripe, lavish fruit flavors and has the structure to keep them in balance. Cinnamon, cedar, clove and star anise aromas, then a mix of bright raspberry and red and black cherries dominate the flavors. It's full-bodied and moderately tannic, showing a lot of good concentration. Drink now or hold.
Dark and brooding, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard is a massive wine. Black cherry, blackberry, menthol and underbrush introduce a Pinot Noir of somber intensity and serious complexity, but yet again, the bright 2023 acids make this feel very energized. Chewy tannins linger long on the potent, detailed finish. This will certainly need time to come around, but patience will be rewarded.
Beautiful aromatics of red and black berry fruits, sappy flowers, sassafras, and baking spices emerge from the 2023 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard. Round and layered on the palate, this medium-bodied effort shows outstanding balance, sweet, velvety tannins, and impressive length. A very complete, complex, and satisfying wine from the Sierra Mar Vineyard, it should shine for a solid decade.
