Wayfarer The Estate Pinot Noir 2023 750ml
Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2025 97 97 Points
The 2023 Pinot Noir is a blend of all clones and main blocks on the estate. Seamless and layered in feel, the 2023 is absolutely exquisite. Silky contours wrap around a core of blue/purplish fruit, dried flowers, mint and mocha. All of the elements are so well-balanced to the degree that nothing sticks out. The 7% stems are expertly judged. This, too, needs time to be at its most expressive.

Complex aromas of iron, iodine, raspberries, blue fruit, mussel shells, lemongrass and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with crunchy fruit and a lightly chewy finish. A barrel selection of the best wines of the vintage. A little tight now, but it opens in the glass. Drink or hold.
