Pinot Noir, "Mitsuko", Clos Pegase, Napa Valley, CA, 2023

Professional reviews & ratings

I’m not finding a reliable published numerical score from a major critic for the 2023 vintage yet, so I don't want to invent one. The current listings confirm the 2023 wine but don't show a critic score.

What we do have is a very appealing winemaker tasting profile:

• Red plum, dried fig and Bing cherry on the nose.
• The palate brings bright red fruit, vanilla and cola, followed by earth and forest-floor notes.
• Excellent acidity and firm, crunchy tannins provide structure.
• The finish is described as long and mouth-coating.
