Tasting Notes

Deep ruby garnet in color, this wine offers a captivating nose of volcanic savoriness and earthy depth, layered with dark red fruit tones of plum and black cherry. On the palate, those aromas translate seamlessly, delivering volume and presence on the forepalate, where the dark fruit melds with a distinct volcanic minerality. There's a youthful exuberance that gives the wine lift and energy, while the earthy core anchors it with structure and poise. Bold yet balanced, this wine promises both immediate intrigue and rewarding potential in the cellar.

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Temblor Grace Benoist Ranch is a potent wine. Rich and exuberant, with a load of lush fruit, the Temblor offers tons of immediacy and impact. A blast of dark fruit, chocolate, new leather and incense makes for an attention-grabbing open. Give this a bit of time to soften. I expect the 2023 will always be quite virile.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

      Vintage Notes
      In 2023, Grace Benoist Ranch, situated in the cool, maritime-swept Carneros region of Sonoma, benefited from a classic growing season defined by moderation and persistence. A wet and cool winter segued into a foggy "June gloom," delaying bud break and pushing veraison late into the season. Throughout summer, temperatures remained mild, with daytime highs generally between the low to mid-70°F range, which allowed fruit to ripen evenly and maintain vibrant natural acidity. Harvest was unusually late; this extended hang time permitted development of excellent flavor and structural depth without loss of finesse. The resulting wines display hallmark traits of Grace Benoist Ranch: clarity of fruit, refined minerality and bright acidity. Age-worthy, they are beautifully balanced - structured yet elegant - with vivid aromatics that reflect the cool-climate precision of this remarkable 2023 vintage.
