2023 Memorious

Very structured, almost thick in tannins, with deep black cherries and violets on the nose, then white stones, iron, iodine and earthy accents on the palate. While substantial in texture and more medium than light in body, it's not at all heavy, and will no doubt age well for many years. Drink now or hold. (11/2024)

Despite its dark and brooding reticence on the nose, the 2023 Pinot Noir Memorious is shaping up to be a beautiful combination of polished, weightless, herbal and saline. The texture is beautifully lacy and dexterous, with a long, layered, gently structured finish highlighting salinity and elegantly tenacious tannic grip. Tasted a few weeks before its August bottling.
