96 Points Wine Spectator
This dynamic red shows finesse and impeccable structure, with expressive flavors of raspberry and blueberry accented by stony mineral, star anise and forest floor tones that build richness and tension toward refined tannins.
94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Pinot Noir La Source is bursting with scents of pomegranate, blood orange, mushrooms, mossy bark and holiday spice. The medium-bodied palate has a silky texture and floral, citrusy flavors. It’s balanced by bright acidity and has a long, layered finish.
Winemaker Note
With its deep, sumptuous ruby color, La Source Pinot Noir offers a bouquet of mixed berry compote, citrus peel, nutmeg and a purple flower note — woolly blue curl comes to mind — that plume in width and concentration on the palate. A twist of spice tingles beside crackling acid; together they are the frame for juicy fruit and tannins that linger through a finish paved with minerality. Year after year, La Source is defined by the freshness and purity of fruit from this higher-elevation block.
