Impressions

One of the highlights of the vintage, our new release of MacIntyre Estate Vineyard
Pinot Noir rivals the stellar 2021 for our finest expression yet from this dynamic
vineyard. The wine is a study of contrasts—packed full of deep, dense fruits but with
a vivid and distinctly elegant purity.
Soaring aromatic range typical of vines grown on sandy soil: deep dark fruit offset
by delicate floral tones and mineral freshness. Mint, sage, and hibiscus notes add
complexity. Bright red fruits dominate the entry but quickly darken to a powerfully
deep black fruit expression of cassis and huckleberry. As the wine opens, its succulent
texture unfolds underpinned by racy acidity and youthful structure. The swirling
aromas and flavors echo long on the finish. Drink between late-2025 and 2035 and
gently decant in its youth to bring out its texture fully
