Introduction:
A vibrant, terroir-driven Pinot Noir from Lake County, this 2023 Outlier Pinot Noir balances juicy fruit with focused energy. It delivers bright cherry flavors, earthy sophistication, and elegant structure—capturing the spirit of a refreshing New World Pinot.

Terrior:
Grown in high-elevation vineyards of Lake County on volcanic and gravelly alluvial soils. The region’s cool nights and warm days preserve the grape’s natural acidity and help develop complex aromatics, while moderate diurnal shifts ensure gentle phenolic ripening.

Tasting notes:
Aged for seven months in seasoned French oak, the 2023 Outlier Pinot Noir is a brilliant ruby red color offering complex aromas of chaparral, cherry blossom, rhubarb, cranberry, forest floor, mint, and truffle. An exuberant swirl of cherry, boysenberry, blackberry, and Cara Cara orange is at the forefront of the lushly textured palate. Supple, dusty tannins and uplifting acidity add depth and freshness to the wine while mocha and rose hip notes chime in on the finish.

Press
94 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"This wine is rich and lively, with aromas of dark cherry, plum, orange marmalade, dried sage, and notes of potpourri on the nose. The flavors on the palate are black strawberry, raspberry, and blood orange zest, layered with clove, key lime vanilla cream, mineral, and a dry, supple finish."
