Wayfarer is known for coastal Pinot Noir, and 'The Estate' bottlings are collected from across their vineyards, and offer the perfect overview of their coastal Sonoma terroir. It opens with intense ripe strawberries, raspberries and cherry on the fruit-end, followed by waves of sous-bois, violets, lavender for a floral and earthy middle, finished off with spice, clove, rootstock, and fragile oak the finish. The tannins are elegantly curved, and the acidity rings clean and high. Layered, supple, complex, the 2022 vintage is approachable at this age, but is built for the long haul.

The 2022 Pinot Noir The Estate is a wine of total class and understatement. Bright red-toned fruit and well-judged oak inform this sculpted, striking Pinot Noir. I especially admire the energy here. Blood orange, mint, crushed rocks, citrus and dried herbs open with a bit of time in the glass. This translucent, crystalline Pinot is, quite simply, magnificent.
