Wine Advocate, 93+ Points 

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Bucher Vineyard was matured for 16 months in 63% new French oak. It opens dramatically with air, segueing from blueberry and black cherry to forest floor, dark spice and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with wild berry flavors and vibrant acidity. It’s framed by velvety tannins and has a long finish with latent spicy accents. It will benefit from several years in the cellar. 395 cases were made." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Notes of raspberry are juxtaposed with earthy undertones that typify this unique terroir. The multifaceted profile in this wine relates to the complex exposures, soils, and clones planted within. Hints of sous bois and wood spices add layers to the intriguing aromas. The palate showcases raspberry fruit flavors along with hints of earth and fresh herbs. The tannins are polished and harmonize with the acidity to offer a Zen-like texture." 

Alcohol: 13.9%
