Long Description Tawse Quarry Road Pinot Noir 2023

Quarry Road does it again – and easily offers the best value in the Tawse pinot lineup. Such an elegant, even and fragrant pinot. Nicely open and fragrant right out of the gate with quite ripe red/black cherry fruit, brambleberry, red rose florality, classic pinot forest floor and barrel spice mindful of cardamon and cedar wood. It is medium bodied with 12.5% abv, quite vibrant and firm with well-balanced acidity and tannin. Very mineral with classic limestone on the finish. If wanting to drink one 2023 now, with aeration, this would be it. But I would still age it a couple of years. Last tasted May 2026. (David Lawrason,winealign.com,January 2026)
