James Suckling Review
Rated 94
Wild and expressive, bursting with crushed berries, orange peel, flowers and exotic spices, with touches of chili and iodine adding depth. Tense and structured, yet incredibly fresh and crunchy, with a vibrant, spiced energy. The mid-palate lingers with bright citrus and mineral nuances, leading to an elegant finish. Firm tannins add definition and frame. Drink or hold.
VinoUS Media Review
Rated 93
The 2023 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills excites the senses with a burst of dusty
rose and autumnal spices that complement wild strawberries. Juicy to the
core yet refined, it reveals depths of crisp minerality and bright red berry
fruits that cascade across the palate. The finish tapers to a tart cranberry
resonance that pinches at the cheeks as violet inner florals fade. Drinking Window 2025-2030.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
