2023 Kosuge Pinot Noir El Galpon, Carneros
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91 Points
Forthcoming and varietally on target, the nose of this engaging Pinot Noir combines a pretty medley of sweet red cherry, red raspberry and rose petal scents with hints of cinnamon and baking spice. These same flavors prove richer and a bit more forthcoming on the palate, where the wine has a notable gentility of balance and a long lingering finish of nuanced delicacy. The finishing notes of cherry and rose make it delicious and food-worthy already although the wine should be more so in another year or two.  80 cases produced.
