The Hilt Pinot Noir Estate 2023
Details
98 Points | JC
“This is one of the most approachable Estate Pinot Noirs from The Hilt I’ve ever tasted—but make no mistake, it’s layered with incredible structure, electric acid tension, and a saline minerality that will carry it gracefully in the cellar for decades. The purity of red and blackberry fruit is striking—so vivid and clean, with the viscosity of beautifully mineral-rich spring water. Exotic spice notes shine throughout, with gorgeous Indian and Chinese five-spice aromas, while a hint of tangerine oil brings freshness and silkiness. Mouthwatering and wildly expressive, this wine is as seductive as it is age-worthy.” - Jonathon Cristaldi

“Silky, rich, dark and undeniably delicious, this is a beautifully polished wine with bright Bing cherry, orange zest, light herbs, peppery spice, and wonderfully expressive aromatics. The texture is the real star: supple and luxurious at first, then increasingly grippy and structured through the finish. It has the charm to enjoy now, but the balance and depth to reward time in the cellar. Super impressive for the price and a genuine case-buy candidate if you can find it.” - California Wine Advisors
