Reviewed July 2025The nose of the 2023 Pinot Noir Paige's Ridge is bright and detailed with rocky earth, red berries, raspberries, fresh floral perfume, sweet brambly herbs, and earth. It’s medium-bodied on the palate, with fantastic purity, refreshing acidity, terrific structure, and a long, balanced finish. These wines have clarity and complexity that shines brightly throughout. Drink over the coming 15 or so years. (AF)

James Suckling
Real purity of fruit, with orange blossoms and a hint of pine resin on the nose. Medium-bodied with precise and chiseled tannins that frame the wine beautifully. Savory finish. Made from 667 clone. Love the tannins that give texture and tension. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Noir Paige’s Ridge is a powerful yet reticent wine. This is the only Pinot in the range fermented in wood. In 2023, the Paige's has a bit more stem inclusion as well. Vertical and explosive, with tons of energy, the 2023 dazzles from start to finish. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper, sage and chalk all build into the intensely saline finish. Give this a few years to soften, as the tannins are quite formidable at this stage. This is a superb showing from Wayfarer. (AG)

Wine Spectator
This just bursts forth, displaying exuberant notes of mulberry, boysenberry and raspberry puree laced liberally with rose petal, iris and hibiscus details. Its juicy grip drives the finish, which is gilded with apple wood and anise hints, along with a steadying, minerally spine. A flashy beauty. Best from 2026 through 2038. (JM)
