Patricia Green Pinot Noir Reserve 2023
"Perfumed with violets, black raspberries, dark stones, and hints of lavender. Medium-bodied, it delivers fantastic intensity and energy, ripe tannins, and great definition, with a dark, stony mouthfeel. This wine is a bananas value, punching far above its weight for the price. Drink over the next 15 years." - 94 PTS, JEB DUNNUCK (08/2025)
"A vibrant effort, offering crushed blueberries and strawberries laced with sweet spice. Inner sweetness emerges on the nose, offset by crisp wild berry fruit and a hint of citrus. The finish brings gentle tannic tension and a pleasantly tart sensation that is long yet fresh." - 91 PTS, VINOUS MEDIA (07/2025)
