• Score: 96 Vintage 2023 Decanter The estate sits along the eastern flank of the Dundee Hills, Jackson uses 20% whole cluster on this and they're not doing any hedging in the vine rows, but instead are braiding and bending down the shoots. Hedging tells the vines to ripen the fruit, and this lowers the pH levels in the Dundee Hills where ripeness is never a chal, keeping acidity fresh. Tissagé method it's called and works well in his low vigour site. This wine delivers a mineral crispness and fresh edge, where Dundee Hills Pinots can be more opulent than many parts of the valley. Mint leaves and ocean brine, with piquant blood orange leaves you with a salty, pine sap finish, it's elegant and wild all at once. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 94 Vintage 2023 The Wine Advocate The 2023 Pinot Noir Holstein Estate was fermented with 20% whole clusters and matured for 11 months in 20% new French oak. The nose is bursting with strawberry, pomegranate, blood orange, damp earth and tea leaves. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with layer after layer of perfumed, crunchy fruit. It’s framed by fine, chalky tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a very long, layered finish. 350 cases were made. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 96 Vintage 2022 Decanter From the Granville estate vineyard, which has been organically farmed as of 2016, this is just a gorgeous wine with floral pungency and earth-driven expression. Aromas of violets are paired with classic red-fruited Dundee Hills character and a suggestion of wild anise. It is lovely on the palate, with candied raspberries, delicate floral elements, and savoury pine sap and clove, finishing with wild spearmint. It is a really stunning wine. For Holstein, a farmer at heart, lots of detail goes into managing vigour to make this wine possible. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
