2023 La Source Pinot Noir

With its deep, sumptuous ruby color, La Source Pinot Noir offers a bouquet of mixed berry compote, citrus peel, nutmeg and a purple flower note — woolly bluecurls come to mind — that plume in width and concentration on the palate. A twist of spice tingles beside crackling acid; together they are the frame for juicy fruit and tannins that linger through a finish paved with minerality. Year after year, La Source is defined by the freshness and purity of fruit from this higher-elevation block.
