Laurène Pinot Noir 2021

The Laurène gently caresses the palate like the rider’s steadying hand on a skittish horse. Aromas of lavender, dark raspberry, hay and the salinity of an ocean breeze swirl gently from the glass. Blackberry compote and blackcap raspberry flavors are joined by wisps of Earl Grey tea and thyme. Balanced beauty. Editors’ Choice. Score – 96. (Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 1, 2023)
