2023 Cattleya The Goddess Pinot Noir | Goldrock Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast California 750ml

Pure luxury from the first glance, this Pinot Noir features a deep crimson core framed by a vivid fuchsia rim. Aromas of soft red roses, ripe raspberries, savory coastal herbs and cool morning ocean breeze rises from the glass. On the palate, the wine is indulgent and layered offering supple red fruit, violets and a whisper of spice. Silky, refined tannins with vibrant acidity provide a graceful structure, culminating in a long, sophisticated finish. 117 cases produced. | Bibiana Gonzalez Rave Pisoni for Cattleya Wines

...from a vineyard owned by Paul Hobbs on the West Sonoma Coast and pours a bright ruby red color. The nose has more lifted highlights, with a floral perfume and red fruit highlights of grenadine, wet stones, and fresh herbs. I love the focus and balance this wine brings, with refreshing ripe acidity, a long finish, and an incredible energy all the way through. It's my favorite of the three Pinot Noir offerings from Cattleya and is going to drink well now or over the coming 15 or more years. | 97 points, Audrey Frick for jebdunnuck.com
