Coming from a great site in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2023 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard displays a medium ruby hue and reveals a brilliant, Volnay-like perfume of sweet redcurrants, framboise, spring flowers, and damp, foresty earth. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and incredibly elegant on the palate, it has nicely integrated tannins and acidity, no hard edges, and a great finish. It shows the cooler, even, lengthy style of the vintage and will evolve gracefully over the coming decade.

Gorgeous aromas of red flowers and holiday spices are followed by vivid fruit flavors on an elegant texture. So layered in cinnamon, clove, cedar and pure black cherry flavors. Medium tannins and fresh acidity add a nice lift on the palate and lingering finish. Drink now or hold. (JG)

The 2023 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard—always the last vineyard that ROAR harvests—is floral and lifted, with fabulous saline energy and deep minerality. In this vintage, the tannins are more prominent than usual and need some time to integrate. Chaparral herbs lend tons of intrigue on the spicy, tense finish. Give this a couple of years to settle in. 94+ (BN)

Showing alluring flavors of boysenberry and mulberry compote lined with singed anise, iris and briar notes, this doesn’t pull any punches on the full, juicy and fruit-laden finish either. (JM)
