Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Matured in 23% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate has open-knit aromas of wild berries, orange peel, forest floor and flint. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and nuanced with fine, chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long, spicy finish.

James Suckling (93)

Compelling aromas of bright red fruit, spices, wild blackberries and blueberries and freshly turned soil. This is a really pretty, medium-bodied wine with flavors of fresh raspberries and dried cherries. Some delicate minerality and rose petals on the palate as well.

Vinous (93)

The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate is dusty and floral, with nuances of crushed violet and lavender, blackberries and a hint of licorice. Silken in feel, it reveals depths of ripe red and blue fruits that swirl across a stream of cooling acidity as crunchy tannins form toward the close. Structure defines the finish, with a spicy tinge and a twang of citrus that puckers the cheeks under an air of rosy inner florals.

Jeb Dunnuck (94)

The 2023 Pinot Noir Lingua Franca Estate is expressive with a layered perfume of dark stones, savory, salty earth, lavender, black raspberries, and leather. It offers medium to full-bodied richness, with lovely umami undertones that will become more pronounced over time. The finish is marked by its more lavender-noted perfume, which lingers through the back palate. This requires some patience and will only improve with another few years in the cellar. Drink over the next 12-15 years.
