99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2025 "The ruby-hued 2023 Pinot Noir Finn comes two-thirds from sandy soils and one-third from clay soils. It has fantastic balance, with pristine notes of preserved cranberries, raspberries, fresh flowers, and wet stones. Medium-bodied, it floats on the palate with fine tannins that are well-defined, refreshing acidity, and a seamless feel all around. A beautiful wine with a chalky mineral texture and a long, floating finish, it’s always a pleasure to taste this cuvée, and this vintage is no exception. Drink 2026-2046."
From 23 year old vines. Aged 15 months in 40% new French oak barrels from Atelier Centre France & Tonnellerie Mercurey.

Winemaker’s Notes - Andy Smith:
Our 24th vintage of Finn Pinot Noir and one of the greatest in this long run. It’s a supremely complex and sophisticated wine that is supple and layered, showing great finesse. It reminds me of the classic 2015 vintage, which is maturing beautifully in bottle and still many years from its peak. The 2023 holds similar aging potential, and it’s clearly one of the top two or three wines in this magical vintage. The special way these two mature vine parcels combine to produce so much deliciousness is the building block to the wine’s success. The way they balance fruit richness with textural delicacy is the wine’s key. It’s very rare that wines can combine obvious concentration and weightlessness to this high degree—and given how supple the wine’s structure is, we can enjoy the wine soon after release.
Grand scale complexity, with aromas and flavors reminiscent of rose petals, cassis, intense raspberry, orange zest, and red apple skin. The wine has a shimmering, racy, energetic character that offers red, blue, and black fruit pastille notes. Layers of complexity unfold, and the wine is deep yet silky and sleek. It becomes precise and focused as it opens in the glass, finishing with lifted red fruits, cool herb tones, and sweet tobacco leaf. Drink between late-2025 and 2038. A gentle decant will hasten the wine’s evolution in the glass.

What The Critics Say
“Sixty percent of the 2022 Pinot Noir Finn comes from the Bressay Vineyard with Calera selection and the rest from old vines on Occidental Road, with unknown plant material (planted with eight or so clones) that they pick all at one time, which adds a lot of complexity to this wine. It opens to complex and layered aromas of kirsch, fresh violets, sweet tobacco, and mossy earth, followed on the palate by a complete wine with velvety tannins and harmonious acidity, everything coming together seamlessly. A stunning wine, it’s one of the best wines of the vintage. It’s going to be hard to hold in the cellar, but it will be worth it. Drink 2024-2050.”
