Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromatic layers of wild strawberries, black cherries, and rose petals, with hints of forest floor and spice.
Palate: Silky and refined, featuring red berry flavors, bright acidity, and subtle minerality. Delicate notes of clove, earth, and crushed herbs add depth.
Finish: Long and elegant, with fine tannins and a lingering, vibrant fruit character.
James Suckling: 99 Points
"An amazingly complex, dynamic wine that demands your attention from the first sniff to the lingering finish. Aromas of redwood forest, rosemary, purple flowers and black cherries, then black tea, pomegranate, dark cherry, dried raspberry and wild mushroom flavors. Fine-grained moderate tannins and crunchy acidity give it such a firm backbone. Drink now or hold."
Vinous: 93 Points
"The 2023 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is redolent of floral, savory and citrus notes. I find it especially brilliant and crystalline. At the same time, the 2023 is pretty tightly wound. Rose petal, iron, tea leaves, incense and dried herbs open nicely with some coaxing, The colder growing season brings out the slightly gamier, wilder side of Pinot Noir along with plenty of brightening acidity in this mid-weight, taut Pinot from Raen."
