A fresh, linear, eye-opening young wine that's delicious and appetizing, and will develop more complexity and nuance with time in the bottle. Stunning aromas of black cherries, vibrant raspberries and cedary spices lead to mouthwatering red cherry, cranberry, star anise and mineral flavors that expand on the palate. Drinkable now and best from 2030.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Le Caprice has inviting aromas of red and black cherry, cranberry, blood orange, violet, licorice, pipe tobacco and foresty undertones, and it becomes more expressive as it airs in the glass. The full-bodied palate is brimming with layer after layer of spicy fruit. It’s framed by silky tannins, and its succulent acidity is irresistible. It has a long, latent finish and will benefit from several years in the cellar. 979 cases were made.- Erin Brooks

Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2023 Le Caprice Pinot Noir charges out with a powerful perfume of violets, dark chocolate, pomegranate, and juicy blackberries, leading to hints of blueberry coulis, anise, and spearmint. The medium to full-bodied palate is dense with perfumed black fruit layers, supported by plush tannins and a refreshing line, finishing very long and fragrant.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Le Caprice is a potent, young wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, French oak and espresso stains the palate. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2023 for at least a few years, as it is very much an infant today. - Antonio Galloni
