2023 RIBBON RIDGE PINOT NOIR

Moving to the Pinot Noir selections, the 2023 Pinot Noir comes from the younger fruit of the property and is a bright ruby color. It benefits from a bit of air on opening and is snappy and fresh with crunchy red raspberries, fresh flowers, dusty earth, and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and refreshing, with a balanced crunchiness of snappy, ripe fruit and an excellent finish. It’s a total crowd-pleaser now and should last another 8-10 years.
