2023 Legacy Nancy’s Pinot Noir
NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER
The 2023 vintage of Nancy’s Pinot Noir opens with generous aromas of wild blueberry, earth, and hints of rich spice that leads to undertones of dried flowers and brambly berries. On the palate, juicy blackberry, bing cherry, and cassis emerge, balanced by vibrant tension with a mineral core. The wine sings with breadth and power, building to an extended, structural finish.
Wine Specs
Vintage Overview
The 2023 vintage will be remembered as a year of abundance, with harmonious grapevine development for all growing regions in the Northwest. As winter transitioned into spring, temperatures remained relatively cool, delaying bud break into late May. The weather pattern then shifted to moderately warm and dry, creating excellent conditions for an accelerated bloom that led to perfect pollination and abundant fruit set. Our vineyards ripened in the final two to three weeks of September, creating a condensed window for optimum harvest, a challenge our vineyard and winemaking teams were fully equipped to handle. Thanks to the remarkable summer and fall weather, yields were greater than average and exceeded our own estimates. The wines crafted from the 2023 vintage display excellent quality demonstrated by generous flavors and complex textures
