Reviewed June 2025A classic, distinctive and compelling red. So leafy, floral and tea-like in aromas, then fresh, concentrated and generous on the palate, offering red cherries, sour cherries, black tea, bay leaves and blueberries backed by vibrant acidity and light tannins. Drink now or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2023 Pinot Noir Wester Reach boasts a bright red hue and opens with a spicy, fresh nose that carries a cool-climate edge. Ripe cranberries, lifted spices, fresh roses, and piney herbs lead the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied and compact on the palate, with a refreshing line of acidity, fine tannins, and a weightless texture. The finish is long and laced with elegant spice. Drink 2025-2037.

Wine Spectator
Bursts with juicy raspberry, mulberry and bitter cherry coulis flavors that stretch out lengthily, plus savory,
red tea and rose petal notes that add energy and range. Shows a snap of red licorice and a singed apple wood frame on the finish while keeping its energy up. Best from 2026 through 2036.

Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is soft, fruity and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years or more. Soft contours wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit, sweet spice and flowers. There's lovely immediacy and succulence here. Bright acids pull it all together. Delicious. (AG)
Notes
95-points Lisa Perotti-Brown: "Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2023 Wester Reach Pinot Noir soars with intense notes of black raspberries, freshly crushed black cherries, and spearmint, leading to hints of violets and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and bright with bags of blackberry flavors and a finegrained texture, finishing with great length and a refreshing lift."
