2024 Laguna Ridge Pinot Noir
Notes
Ruby red-Purple. Pure, deep and perfumed aromatics of fresh wild blackberries, raspberries, lightly crushed violets, and hints of iron shavings and tea leaves. Tightly wound at the same time filled with sumptuous bright purple to red-purple fruit flavors and backed by mineral undertones and velvet like tannins. A graceful, compelling juxtaposition of power and elegance.

Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2024 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge Vineyard swans out with showy notes of raspberry coulis and red currant preserves, giving way to nuances of roses, tree moss, and tilled soil, with a touch of wet slate. The medium to full-bodied palate vibrates with vivacious red berry and earthy layers, supported by very fine-grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and minerally.

A gorgeous, friendly, fruit-centered wine with ample red and black cherry flavors on a full body. Raspberry and blueberry notes are backed by light tannins and good, fresh acidity. Drink now or hold.

A deeper ruby/magenta hue, the 2024 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge Vineyard is spicy and expressive with ripe cherry fruit, grenadine, clove, cinnamon, forest herbs, and orange oils all emerging in the glass. Full-bodied yet energetic, it carries terrific purity of fruit and notable structure beneath its more exuberant profile. Silky and highly appealing already, it should evolve gracefully over the next 15-20 years.

The 2024 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge is fabulous. Rich and explosive in the glass, the Laguna Ridge is seriously impressive. Rich red-toned fruit, pomegranate, lavender, cassis and spice fill out the layers. The 2024 possesses striking mid-palate pliancy to match its racy, opulent personality. Soft, silky contours wrap it all together. Superb.
