Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points

From a site thought to possibly be a 60-million-year-old sand dune and the estate?s sandiest vineyard site (hence the name) the jeweled ruby-hued 2022 Pinot Noir Silice offers compact notes of black raspberries baking spices and tangerine and is highly perfumed with rocky earth. Medium-bodied it has a more linear feel and is long on the palate with ripe tannins a more gravelly texture and a great savory finish. Elegant and compact at the same time it can be enjoyed over the coming 15 or more years.

James Suckling: 94 Points

Juicy well-crafted and crunchy with forest berries strawberries cranberries and stone. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Refined and crisp with a floral touch. Delicate yet intense with a restrained character and a delicious finish with a white pepper lift. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

A precise and expressive version whose well-knit flavors of raspberry and guava take on forest floor and black tea notes as this builds tension and richness toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034. 1119 cases made.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

The 2022 Pinot Noir Silice Vineyard is transparent and pure. It has detailed aromas of cranberry pomegranate and tangerine peel while accents of mossy bark and mushrooms evoke a shady forest. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and dynamic with flavors that shift from fruit to earth and spice. It has a silky texture vibrant acidity and a long spicy finish. It will mature gracefully over the next 10+ years. Published: Jul 25 2024
