The 2023 Pinot Noir Carter Vineyard opens with sweet basil and lavender, mingling with stone dust and a hint of pine resin before giving way to dried strawberries as it evolves in the glass. Cooling acidity and silken wild berry fruits infused with nuances of Earl Grey glide across the palate, while a wave of tangerine zest invigorates the senses. The finish is gently tannic and incredibly long, leaving the cheeks puckered with tension and a resonance of licorice that slowly fades. Bury the Carter deep in the cellar.
