Thousand Candles Gathering Field  Nouveau Pinot Noir 2023

"I love the style of this. It starts off fruity and forward but it turns chalky and dry through the back half. It offers ample spice, and smoky/reductive notes, and indeed in the end it plays the savoury card ahead of the fruit, which is a good thing. " Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Tasting Notes

Thousand Candles Gathering Field  Nouveau Pinot Noir 2023

"Natural yeast fermentation with carbonic maceration in stainless steel. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. A light, ruby red. Redolent of just picked summer strawberries, cherries and amaro, the palate is light, crisp, tangy and yum! A wine for sitting on a porch on a warm day with a good book in one hand and a glass of this, served gently chilled, in the other." 90 Points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
