2024 Pinot Noir, Park Avenue Estate Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
James Sucklings 96 Points
Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes
The 2024 Park Avenue Estate Pinot Noir is all about purity. A beam of pure, cool Bing cherry and ripe strawberry flavors leap from the glass, followed by sandalwood, white pepper, tobacco, and dried mint. The wine is seemingly transparent in the focus and delineation of its multifaceted elements – a rare characteristic only attainable from the perfect alignment of site and vintage. With additional air, the wine continues to blossom, developing additional brambly fruit and sweet earth tones. Soft and caressing in its structural composition, this is a wine that is inviting in its youth but possesses the density and energy to reward years of careful cellaring.
