2023 Pinot Noir Deer Ridge Trail Santa Cruz Mountains

$55.00

Library release. Only nine cases available. Deer Ridge Trail produces an incredible old world expression of Pinot Noir. This marks my third vintage here. The fruit was hand picked October 17th.

From RobertParker.com: "Fermented with 25% whole clusters, the 2023 Pinot Noir Deer Ridge Trail Vineyard hails from a high-elevation block atop this Corralitos site. The nose is fragrant and red-fruited, showing coniferous aromas of redwood duff, moss and bright spices. The palate shows excellent poise, energy and clarity, concluding with an understated, deft finish framed by a subtly upright structure and posture."

Aged in 1/3 new French Oak, alcohol 13%, unfiltered. 72 cases made.
