MINERAL SPRINGS
2023 White Label Pinot Noir
This wine feels like it should be an adventure. Drawn from a singular voice within Mineral Springs Ranch, the aromatics evoke forest floor after rain, bramble and earth rising in a dark and alluring scent. On the palate it is delicate yet deeply layered, revealing complexity in slow, deliberate waves. Notes of oyster shell and spice mingle with veins of dark cherry and currant, while fine, tightly woven tannins frame the wineโs age-worthy structure. Elegant oak integration supports the wine without overshadowing it, allowing texture and nuance to shine. Produced only in the most compelling years and absent from release since 2018, its return is both rare and meaningful, a reminder of why patience and restraint matter. Each moment in the glass reveals something new, an intimate expression of place and time that resists simple definition and begs for much more time on the trail of discovery. Give this one several years to expand its horizons and the rewards will be memorable.
