Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 95
A bright red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir The Plow is from the top blocks of the estate and then blended blind. It has lifted, bright aromatics of pomegranate, strawberries, sweet herbs, and floral perfume. It's medium-bodied, with a graceful and approachable feel, fine tannins, and a floating finish. It's delightful now and should drink fantastically over the coming 12-15 years.
