2023 OLG Pinot Noir, Our Lady of Guadalupe Vyd
"Aged 10 months in 45% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Our Lady Of Guadalupe Vineyard shows classic raspberries, ripe red cherries, forest floor, and floral nuances. This beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a pure, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This plush, sexy, yet seamless and flawlessly balanced effort is well worth seeking out and should have a solid 7-8 years, if not more, of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2033." -Matt Kettman, 95JD
Dave Phinney's first vineyard purchase in California straddles all of the Santa Rita Hills' classic soils (diatomaceous earth, clay and sand). Coupled with its cold climate location, these combine to produced a "polished wine...with silky textured fruit...and fresh garrigue notes...leav[ing] one in a perpetual state of wanting...more." -Decanter
