Tasting Notes

Smells of forest floor, raspberries, dried flowers, chopped green herbs and raspberry leaf. Bright acidity makes raspberry and sour-cherry, rhubarb and dried-herb flavours mouth-watering, with a gorgeous blueberry top note that lingers for some time in the finish. Very faint, gauzy tannins. Excellent acidity. Refined and aromatic. Fantastic.

Alder Yarrow, JancisRobinson.com, May 2025

Pouring a bright ruby color, the 2023 Pinot Noir The Pivot Vineyard is floral and refined, with notes of pressed roses, raspberries, sweet herbs, and delicate hints of baking spice. Medium-bodied, it floats on the palate with a very pretty, strawberry-fruited nature, though it retains a well-defined and balanced structure, making it a wine that’s both a pleasure to taste now or over the coming 20 years.

Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com, July 2025

The 2023 Pinot Noir The Pivot Vineyard is bursting with scents of blackberry, raspberry, orange peel, tea leaves and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, nuanced, fragrant flavors framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, expressive finish.

Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, June 2025

A quietly powerful wine that's graceful and age-worthy. Excellent concentration and complexity are wrapped up beautifully in a trim, appetizing texture. Aromas of black cherries, forest floor, sour cherries and black tea lead to vivid, fresh cherry, blackberry and cinnamon flavors on an elegant frame.
