Mirabai Pinot Noir (2023)

The Mirabai 2022 is medium cool red with deep pink and blue undertones and brilliant transparency. True to the Dundee Hills, this Mirabai begins with a beautiful, fresh, and concentrated strawberry nose with subtle spices and tastes of the same along with raspberries. There is a very pleasing sappiness that adds to the red berry deliciousness with any excess of either fruit or weight. I love the balance, the texture and long finish of this wine. I just wish I had more of it!
