Lot 532
2023 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Over $60/bottle under the original label

Lot 532 is a single-vineyard stunner from one of the most prized sites in the entire region. Elegant yet wild, this beauty came to us via a Carneros powerhouse renowned for crafting top-shelf expressions from the best terroirs across the North Coast.

This love letter to Burgundy begins with an elegant bouquet of hibiscus, rose hips, and plum sauce floating atop fresh-foraged mushrooms and dried leaves. The palate is a masterclass in terroir: raspberry, tobacco leaf, and potting soil mingle with hints of rose petals and cola, all framed by medium+ acidity and small, plentiful velvety tannins. The finish is barrel-kissed with clove, spices, and vanilla blossoms around a dry, mineral-laden core, settling into delicate waves of cranberries and cherries over an enduring exit. Enjoyable now with a good decant, but make sure you save some for the long haul.
