The 2023 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard evolves in the glass as rosemary and sage mingle with wet stones and wild-stemmed strawberries. Juicy to the core, it impresses with cooling acidity and bright red and blue fruits, while a gentle tug of fine tannins gathers toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, it leaves a nuance of licorice and a subtle tinge of autumnal spice to fade slowly. There is lovely balance and concentration here that will promote cellaring.

Matured in 18% new oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard has intense aromas of cranberry, blackberry, conifer, oolong tea leaves and garrigue. The full-bodied palate is bursting with wild berry flavors. It's structured by chalky tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a long, detailed finish.
