Drink now.” Tim Fish, September 2024, 93 Points “The 2013 ‘Extended Tirage’ was disgorged in July 2023. Given 3 G/L dosage, The wine was picked before the rains of the 2013 vintage. On the nose this shows baking spice dusted pastry crust, Pink Lady apple, and juicy peach notes with shades of diatomaceous earth. The mousse is super refined and elegant, as this glides throughout the drinking experience. 60% Pinot Noir with the remainder Chardonnay. This is ethereal stuff that is only starting to hit its stride. Drink 2024-2038.” -Owen Bargreen 2024, 96 Points “The scent of fresh hay warming in the sunshine is matched by a sweet-tart pear and quince combination that is quite hypnotic. The Pinot Noir-Chardonnay blend maintains intense acidity to drive crisp lemon-lime, saline and tonic-water flavors. Match with fresh shucked Yaquina Bay oysters and your favorite yacht rock channel.” 93 points - Wine Enthusiast
