Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
One of the Greats!
"Bright garnet hue with savoury/spice aromas of wild thyme, rosemary, fennel and mushroom complemented by dark cherry, ripe strawberry and dried rose petals. The elegantly structured palate is layered and compact with a purposeful flow, much like an alpine river in springtime. This exceptional vintage has the fine tannins and exquisite perfume that are the hallmarks of Gibbston Pinot Noir. Concentrated and delicious at release, this wine will continue to provide enjoyment for 20+/- years." Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir is fresh, juicy and texturally detailed, with chalky, supple tannins that fill the mouth and saline acidity that courses through the layers of floral, red-berry fruit. There is real drive and elegance here. It's a superb wine, as all of these Valli Pinots tend to be. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." 96/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, February 2025 (2023 Vintage)
