94 pts. Wine Enthusiast:

"Lavish aromas of spiced cherry compote, plum, cinnamon, and flowers pop on the nose of this Pinot. The palate gives plush tannin and punchy acid framing a burst of fresh berry, floral, and cola spice flavors, giving way to nuances of orange peel, Darjeeling, and rose petal at the finish."

This is a Pinot Noir "in stereo"! The flavors blend seamlessly - blueberries mixed in with baking spices - and those wonderful flavors linger for a long time. A wonderful wine! - Wine Factor

Vineyard:

Bringing together fruit from all six of our estate vineyards, with Durell and Gap’s Crown forming the heart of the blend, this pinot showcases the power and structure from these two sites, complemented by the lift and nuance of our other vineyards, creating a wine that reflects the full breadth of our estate.

Tasting Notes:

The 2024 Price Family Estates Pinot Noir leads with toasted green tea and chocolate- covered hazelnuts, layered with an earthy, wild bramble character. Smooth and silky, it carries a focused yet round core with satisfying weight. Fresh blackberries and chocolate mint linger into a long finish, supported by fine, persistent tannins that point to beautiful aging potential.

Vintage:

The 2024 vintage began with a cool, steady start and welcomed much-needed winter rainfall, followed by a mild spring that set the stage for a strong fruit set and healthy growing season. Harvest timing returned to a more typical schedule, a welcome shift from the delayed pace of 2023. A brief burst of warmth around Labor Day gave way to cooler temperatures, allowing for a measured and deliberate picking process. The resulting wines showcase beautiful color and concentration, balanced with lower-than-normal alcohol levels, reflecting the poise and precision of this promising vintage.
