2024 Quartz Acorn Vineyard Pinot Noir
Deep and intense ruby red color, vivid and finely etched, expressing clarity, mineral tension, and the natural intensity of Quartz Acorn Vineyard.. On the nose, it displays a sophisticated bouquet of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, with delicate herbal notes and subtle hints of clove and cinnamon. French oak aging adds layers of vanilla and toast, creating a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. The palate is silky and harmonious, with finely integrated tannins giving it elegance and depth. The freshness of the sedimentary marine soils combines with subtle minerality, producing a vibrant and persistent finish. The 2024 vintage captures the peak expression of Quartz Acorn Vineyard’s Pinot Noir, reflecting both the vineyard’s unique identity and the exceptional conditions of the year.

Accolades
James Suckling
Pretty and perfumed, with aromas of dried flowers, pink peppercorns and bitter citrus zest. Quite intense for a medium bodied wine. The palate is so lifted and fresh, with a steely core of minerals than runs through the long finish.
Wine Spectator
Impeccably structured and detailed, with multilayered cherry and blueberry flavors framed by crushed stone, forest floor and black tea as this gathers intensity toward medium-grained tannins.
