“One of the more impressive wines in the range, the 2023 Pinot Noir Terraces hails from a west-facing hillside planted on clay soils that receive the brunt of winds coming off the Pacific. It opens slowly but steadily, its mineral-driven, persistent core hinted at by the intensity and focus of its saline, spicy and herbal bouquet. The palate is dense, concentrated and palpably tense, gradually releasing into a glacially slow, tenacious finish that blooms with the region's signature tea-like aromatics and marine overtones. Despite the taut, youthful buttoned-up nature here, there is a nimbleness and airiness to this wine that is deeply alluring, and it should be a pleasure to watch evolve in the cellar.”
