2023 Alma de Cattleya Pinot Noir Sonoma County

“Bright, balanced and delicious, with tempting red and black cherry flavors and a lively, lightly tannic texture. Subtle notes of cinnamon, star anise and sour cherries keep your interest through a fresh, lingering finish. Grapes are sourced from Sonoma Coast and Russian River appellations. Drink now.” – Jim Gordon Review Date: October 2024

“Fresh damson plum and bitter cherry notes form the core of this pure, unadorned version, with potpourri, sandalwood and red tea accents adding range through the silky, refined finish. Drink now through 2028.” – James Molesworth Review Date: September 2025

“The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) is a blend of fruit from vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. It’s a soft-textured, approachable, gently floral wine with good focus and lovey purity of fruit. Red cherry, spice and rose petal blossom with air. This is eminently drinkable. Drinking Window: 2025-2030” – Billy Norris Review Date: July 2025

“A bright ruby color, the 2023 Pinot Noir is lifted by bright fruit and spice, featuring notes of cranberry, poppy red cherries, bright spices, and fresh herbs. A refreshing, medium-bodied wine, it’s highly pleasurable now and boasts a refined, charming character, with fine tannins and ripe acidity. It’s a delightful Pinot Noir now, but it should also drink well over the next several years. Maturity: 2025-2028” – Audrey Frick Review Date: July 2025

“The nose of this Pinot delivers aromas of fresh Bing cherry, concentrated raspberry, sweet cinnamon and black tea on the nose. The palate brings supple tannin and energetic acidity, with flavors of macerated cherries, spiced plum, cinnamon and orange peel along the finish.” – Tom R. Capo Review Date: September 2025
