The 2023 Pinot Noir The Traveler has a bright ruby red hue and leads with focused, lifted aromas of dusty, rocky earth, grenadine, bright red berries, fresh flowers, cranberries, bright spice, and orange peel. It’s focused and compact on the palate, with fantastic linear drive and electricity, and it has a long feel, a stony texture, and a more angular and age-worthy, noble structure. Stash this away for a few years and drink 2026-2046. 98+ (AF)

The 2023 Pinot Noir The Traveler is the most delicate and ethereal of the wines in this range. Complex and dynamic, with myriad shades of nuance, The Traveler has so much going on. Wild alpine flowers, spice, mint, orange peel, chalk, white pepper and lavender are some of the many nuances that build in the glass. The long, ethereal finish is unforgettable. The Traveler is a Pinot of total understatement and class. (AG)

Planted on the windy edge of the Wayfarer estate, this suitcase clone expresses the wilder side of the vineyard. It’s a true coastal wine, pulsing with salinity and energy, yet packed with flavours. Aromas of bouquet garni, crushed herbs, and black tea weave through a core of bright red berries and citrus peel. The high, vivid acidity lifts the palate, while fine, balanced tannins lend shape without weight. Distinct and expressive. (ACQ)
