Tasting notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir Silice is layered and seductive, showing black raspberry liqueur, wet stones, toasted spice, cardamom, and black cherries. “Silice” means silica, and this wine comes from forest blocks planted in 2001 on the site with the highest sand content in the soils that they work with. The structure is remarkable, fine, and floating on the palate, with refreshing acidity and an angular, well-defined, gravelly texture to its tannins, which is highly appealing and reminiscent of Nebbiolo in its structure. Drink 2027-2047.

Matured for 11 months, the 2023 Pinot Noir Silice Vineyard has dramatically unfurling scents of red cherry, cranberry, bergamot, tea leaves, damp earth and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and nuanced with citrus-laced flavors. It’s structured by chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, layered finish. 1,667 cases produced.
The 2023 Pinot Noir Silice is darkly alluring, with depths of sweet lavender, violets and spice tones giving way to wild strawberries and blueberries. Lifted and perfumed, the nose offers tart red berry fruits that pinch at the cheeks as a cascade of inner florals swirls over a core of zesty citrus. The palate is tense and mouthwatering, with edgy tannins and a lingering note of tart raspberry. Irresistible.
