Pyramid Valley Earth Smoke Pinot Noir 2023
DOZEN: $2,160.00 or $180.00 each
In other circumstances this wine would command every inch on this page to sing its praises. It's among the best pinots I've tasted all year. A harvest diminished by frost has delivered great complexity, if not quantity. Sour cherries, wild berries and dried porcini, tightening through a fine, granular finish dusted with exotic spice. (97) NICK RYAN, theaustralian.com
A wonderfully expressive release of the Earth Smoke with poised red and dark cherry and wild strawberry fruits with hints of mountain wildflowers, crushed herbs, porcini, sous bois, souk-like spice and earth. Complex and layered with perhaps a little more chew to the tannin profile than the Angel Flower. Flavours unfurl on the palate, stretching out long and true, with the chalky, sapid acidity showing boundless energy and verve. A beautiful, graceful and soulful expression of North Canterbury pinot noir. (96) DAVE BROOKS, winecompanion.com
