96 points Jeb Dunnuck
A deeper ruby/magenta color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard was aged in 48% new French oak. It offers layered depth in its notes of black raspberries, cherries, orange peel, baking spice, strawberry preserves, violets, mossy earth, and fresh leather. From the highest elevation site at 800 feet, and as Daniel Estrin describes it [born from the wind,] it has floral lift, with concentrated richness and a relatively full-bodied frame. Mouthwatering and stunning now, it will drink well over the next 20 years.
95 points James Suckling
An intense and aromatic wine with crushed flowers, juniper and sweet oak spices on the nose. There is a rustic, wild nature to this full-bodied wine, with flavors of spices, red and black fruit and broad, mouth-filling tannins. Drink after 2028.
94 points Wine Advocate
The 2023 Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard was fermented with 48% whole clusters and matured for 18 months in 26% new French oak. It bursts from the glass with scents of pomegranate, red cherry, blackberry, pipe tobacco, forest floor and violets. The medium-bodied palate boasts highly concentrated, fragrant flavors. It’s framed by velvety tannins and bright acidity and has a long, layered finish. 808 cases were made.
