Note di degustazione
The 2024 Pinot Noir Hyland Vineyard wafts up with a bouquet that reminds me of an exotic herbal tea, mixing incense with smoky crushed stones, lavender, Earl Grey and sugar-dusted strawberries. It sweeps across the palate like liquid cashmere, silken and pleasantly weighty, with cooling acidity and plump red and blue fruits that settle on the senses. Crunchy mineral tones mingle with blood orange through a finish that is dramatically long yet impossibly fresh.

‘2023 is a dream come true, the wines come in at .2 to .4 % abv lower, with beautifully integrated tannin structure,’ says winemaker Evan Martin. A dazzling Pinot Noir from the Hyland Estate, this is brilliantly floral with spice and a beautiful elegance to the aromatics. There's a reductive earthiness. The soils are generous on the site, providing fuller canopies with medium-sized berries with a lower skin-to-juice ratio. This bottling is a Coury selection clone. Sweet florals, red fruits, and wonderful berries are on the nose, and there are mint leaves, earth, and savoury notes of lavender and lilac. It is so stunning and lingers long on the palate. It finishes with what Martin calls ‘a true ocean character,’ with brine, which lingers on the tip of the tongue. There's depth and breadth here that lingers long. The elegance and completeness of this Pinot Noir floor me.
The Chambolle of the range, the 2023 Pinot Noir Highland Vineyard is all about fragrance, with a pretty ruby transparent color and pretty floral notes of roses and fresh herbs. Willamette at its best, it has great tension and nerve, with ripe, fine tannins and a long finish. It’s a beautiful wine.
Pale ruby. Very rose-y and pure on the nose. Textural with a slight grip to the tannin. Red cherry and plum carry on a crunchy, saline finish. Lovely! (SCJ)
