Made from this 1,000-feet-elevation site west of Carmel Valley, the 2023 Pinot Noir Pelio Vineyard is fresh and lengthy, mineral-driven and ocean-influenced. Fresh, crunchy red fruit is accented in a lightness of clove and cardamon, with enduring herbal earthiness and a lilt of citrus peel. It impresses in its immediate drinkability and bright complexity, suggesting further aging another 10-15 years.
