BRASSFIELD PINOT NOIR 2023, California

Opened this with a cheese plate and the fruit came through beautifully, not too tart or jammy. Smooth enough to sip on its own, which is rare for a California pinot at this price point.

This was the bottle I reached for after a long week, and the 2023 vintage is drinking beautifully right now. It’s smooth and easy to sip, with just enough body to stand up to dinner without feeling heavy.

Opened this for a quiet evening and the bright cherry notes really came through. It's smooth enough for sipping solo but held up nicely with a simple roast chicken. Definitely grabbing another bottle for next weekend.
