Tasting notes
The 2023 MacMuir Pinot Noir leads with cocoa powder and pomegranate, dried herbs and caper brine. The palate offers all of this and more, framed by fine, chalky tannins and a wash of juicy acidity that feels watercolor-like and impressionist in the mouth. I like this wine very much, and the slightly lighter frame this year works well for it. It is chewy and good, with asphalt and petrichor through the finish. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Their youngest vineyard, flat with deep, rich silt. Deep crimson. Polished, sweet and charming. With real energy. (JR)
The 2023 Pinot Noir MacMuir is sweetly fruited, finely fragrant and herbal, reflecting a portion of whole-bunch fermentation (25%). Fine, sinewy and deeply tannic, there is a real sense of real grip on the long, plummy, spiced fruitcake finish. This is not one for opening too soon. It needs time.
