The 2023 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch opens slowly on the nose, transitioning from expressive raspberry jam and wild cherry to pure nuances of mossy bark, rose petal, licorice and hibiscus. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with concentrated, fragrant red fruit. It’s structured by soft, dusty tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, ethereal finish. 725 cases were made.

Steeped and winey, with a big ball of kirsch holding sway, along with flashes of bitter plum and licorice snap. The fruit won’t quit either, even gaining energy as it tumbles through the finish, with violet and apple wood notes that add range. Polished and seductive in feel overall. Drink now through 2038. 725 cases made.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch is a jeweled ruby color and is more complex and complete on the nose, with notes of ripe cherries, candied roses, pretty strawberries, and sweet spices. It’s a supple wine on the palate, with a silky, rounded texture and a medium-bodied frame. Drink 2025-2035.
