Notes of kirschy cherry cordial, fresh lavender, wildflowers, and fresh sage all emerge, and the wine is medium-bodied, floating on the palate with exceptional detail, elegant saltiness, refinement, and a “wow” factor throughout. It benefited from the long, cool growing season. Drink over the coming decades.

Medium ruby-purple in color, it has arresting scents of strawberry, raspberry, blood orange, rose petals, red licorice and mushroom—each return to the glass offers a new facet of aromatic nuance, and I simply can’t put down the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers a weightless structure yet is brimming with expressive flavors that range from vivid fruit to bitters and earth. It has a luxurious and silky texture, vibrant acidity that structures its intense flavors and an epically long finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b51a00;\"\u003e98\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate (1\/25)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Default","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48473585746178,"sku":null,"price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/3375-occidental.jpg?v=1736964755","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2023-occidental-occidental-station-vineyard-pinot-noir-750ml-copy","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
