critic reviews
The 2022 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard is delicate and nuanced in the glass, slowly evolving with hints of sage, lavender and crushed blackberries. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness, coming across as lifted and graceful with ripe wild berry fruits and violet inner florals that swirl throughout. A bump of juicy acidity enlivens the finale as this finishes gently tannic and pleasantly bitter. Beautiful.
The 2022 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard comes from vines planted in volcanic soils in 2011. Matured in 50% new oak barrels for 15 months, it unfurls its perfume very slowly and is worth the wait: cranberry jelly, raspberry and strawberry jam, bergamot and lavender waft from the glass, and it continues its aromatic evolution as it airs. The palate is seamless yet powerful. Abundant, powdery tannins and juicy acidity frame its pure, nuanced flavors, and it has a very long, floral finish. It's drinking beautifully straight from the bottle, although it has what it needs for a long life in the cellar. 175 cases produced.
