Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2026

Bright ruby, the 2023 Pinot Noir Avni is an excellent appellation wine out of the gate, boasting ripe cherries, red roses, brambly earth, and delicate gamey undertones. Medium-bodied, with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and considerable length, this is a highly appealing Pinot to drink now or over the next 8-10 years.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Avni has inviting scents of wild cherry, cranberry, floral perfume and fine earthy accents. The medium-bodied palate offers understated, earthy flavors. It’s framed by silky tannins and refreshing acidity and has a long, fragrant finish.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Avni wafts up with a vibrant mix of crushed cherries, sweet lavender and spice. Juicy and round, it offers soothingly ripe wild berry fruit complicated by a nuance of bitter licorice toward the close. The finish is pleasantly chewy and long, leaving a sour berry resonance and smooth tannins to mingle on the palate.
