2023 Wayfarer ‘Golden Mean’ Pinot Noir Fort Ross-Seaview

WSI96 VIN96 The 2023 Golden Mean Pinot Noir is fabulous. Bright and nuanced, with terrific energy, the 2023 is sublime. Crushed flowers, red/purplish fruit, orange peel, and a kiss of French oak all grace this restrained, beautifully elegant Pinot. This is such a classy wine, the purity of fruit is sublime.
JS95 Very perfumed, with flowers, strawberries and some raspberries on the nose. Medium-bodied with intense lemon rind, dried strawberry and dried seaweed flavors. Linear and racy. Lots of blue fruit at the end. Drink or hold.
WS95 Enticing boysenberry and raspberry coulis notes spill forth generously, though they are focused and harnessed by a spine of wet stone. Iris and potpourri drape the finish in lilting perfume. Best from 2036 through 2036. 130 cases made.
