WSI94 JD94 The 2023 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard pours a ruby red color and is lush with aromas of graphite, violets, cherry liqueur, and cedar. The palate is refined and refreshing, with a mid-weight feel, and it has finely coiled tannins, bright acidity, and a good deal of length through a wonderful and delicately salty finish. For my taste, it has a slight edge over the rest from this tasting. Drink 2025-2037.
VIN90-92 The 2023 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard is bold, effusive and super-expressive. Strong floral inflections and vibrant fruit give the South Slope tons of sheer appeal. All the elements are so well balanced. Red-toned fruit, crushed autumn leaves and earthy/savory notes build nicely with a bit of time in the glass.
