Score 86/100 · Drink 2023-2027, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2023

The 2021 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard Sud is laced with sweet red cherry, kirsch, lavender, spice and mint. Racy and candied, the 2021 is done in a decidedly exuberant style. I am pretty appreciative of higher alcohol styles when the wines are done well, but 15.5% here is searing in its intensity.

Moving to the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2021 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard Sud was all destemmed and brought up in 100% new barrels. Slightly more evolved in its aromatics of redcurrants, herbes de Provence, baking spices, and savory flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, lush, sexy mouthfeel, soft tannins, and a great finish. This hedonistic bomb of a Pinot Noir opens up nicely with time in the glass and will evolve for 4-6 years, if not longer.
