Wine Advocate 96+ Points
The 2023 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine unfurls its detailed aromas slowly, segueing dramatically from cranberry and pomegranate to mixed tea leaves, orange peel, Angostura bitters, woodsmoke and saline. The medium-bodied palate is more open at this stage, offering concentrated, complex flavors. It has a luxurious, suede-like texture, tense and structuring acidity and a very long, nuanced finish. It gets better and better with air and should be long lived in the cellar. Drink Date: 2030 - 2050. Erin Brooks Jan 08, 2026
