Martin Woods Pinot Noir Jessie James Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills 2023
94 points Vinous Media
The 2023 Pinot Noir Jessie James Vineyard evolves in the glass as crushed stone gives way to black cherries and a hint of wild blueberry, complicated by clove. Elegance defines the palate, with round textures and saline mineral tones up front as ripe red berry fruit and a hint of chalk settle on the senses. It finishes with outstanding length, leaving liquid lavender tones and a staining of fine tannins that resonate.
Vineyard Tasting Notes: Red-black cherries, forest floor & subtle tree bark spice—elegant & balanced texture with a mouth-watering fine thread of structure, acidity and minerals framing the fruit—long, resonant finish, both complex and immediately pleasurable
