Echoing my notes from last year's tasting before bottling, the 2023 Pinot Noir Memorious is shaping up to be a beautiful combination of polished, weightless, herbal and saline, despite its dark and brooding reticence on the nose. Derived from the westernmost portion of the estate on soils with a higher proportion of clay, the texture is beautifully lacy and dexterous, with a long, layered, gently structured finish highlighting salinity and elegantly tenacious tannic grip. This has entered a squarely savory phase that is still quite introverted and will likely remain so for the next few years. (ML)
