The 2023 Red Hills Pinot Noir opens with striking aromatic precision, weaving together layers of dark cherry, wild strawberry, and red currant. Beneath the fruit lies a savory undercurrent of dried rose petal, baking spice, and forest floor, hallmarks of the Dundee Hills’ storied Jory soils. On the palate, the wine balances power with poise. Silken tannins frame a core of ripe red and black fruits, lifted by notes of anise, clove, and subtle whole-cluster spice. The acidity, bright yet seamless, carries the flavors through to a long, graceful finish marked by mineral tension and a whisper of fine-grained oak. This is a Pinot Noir of both clarity and depth: elegant in its youth, but with the structure to age beautifully for the next 10–15 years.
