Martin Woods "Hyland Vineyard" McMinnville Pinot Noir 2023

Decanter : 99 Points

(5/13/2025) A dazzling Pinot Noir. Brilliantly floral, with spice, a beautiful elegance to the aromatics and a reductive earthiness. Sweet florals, red fruits and wonderful berries on the nose. Mint leaves, earth and savoury notes of lavender and lilac. Depth and breadth, finisheing with brine that lingers long on the tip of the tongue. The elegance and completeness floor me. Stunning. ‘2023 was a dream come true,' says winemaker Evan Martin. 'The wines came in at 0.2 to 0.4 % abv lower, with beautifully integrated tannin structure.’ Drinking Window: 2025 - 2040.

(8/26/2025) The 2023 Pinot Noir Hyland Vineyard comes from own-rooted vines on volcanic soils and is perfumed, savory, and expressive. Notes of wildflowers, fresh strawberries, and fine tannins give it a floating, refined, and elegant texture. It offers a Grenache-like charm in a very floral and pretty style to drink over the coming 12-15 years. Drink 2027-2040.
