Patricia Green Cellars Notorious Pinot Noir 2023

97 points Wine Enthusiast, Editor's Choice: "The notorious PGC has dropped a champion wine on us. The 2023 vintage is easily the best Notorious I have ever tasted. Its aromas of fresh-shucked oyster shell linings, ripe, earthy blackberries and a whisper of orange peel remind me of Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs from the days of yore. The wine's flavors of dark raspberries, black tea, rosemary and a savory/smoky note are backed by scintillating acidity, silky tannins and a most elegant texture. Notorious offers the total package of Pinot Noir greatness." A stylistic endeavor unique among the entire lineup of Patricia Green Pinot Noirs (and that is A LOT of wines), Notorious is their chance to show off a best-of-the-best-barrels blend. The '23 is more deeper than ever (see the note above—seriously!), wonderfully layered and impossibly delicious!
