Reviewed August 2025A deep well of minerality and crunchiness marries forest fruit, plums and mixed cherries, showing star anise and seaweed through the saline finish. Unfurls with expressiveness and length. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck
Vivid ruby/plum-hued and semi-opaque, the 2023 Pinot Noir Hilt Estate offers beautiful black raspberries, sappy, minty flowers, and spicy wood. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This strikes a good balance between richness and elegance and has solid tannins and outstanding length. Drink 2025-2033.

Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate consists of 56% Radian, 24% Bentrock and 20% Sanford & Benedict. It's a deep, layered wine but the overall impression is a little quiet today. Reticent dark fruit, leather, cedar and tobacco make for a brooding, inward wine with lots of structure and power. Time should help soften the edges and release some of the 2023's inner tension. 91+ (BN)
