Soléna Estate Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 (750ml) Vin de Pays d'Oc

Soléna Estate Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 (750ml) Vin de Pays d'Oc92 points Wine Enthusiast Fresh raspberry and rhubarb aromas are like summertime personified. Scents of saline and orange zest hover in the background. The wine's fruit flavors are darker, with black and blueberries joining forces with clove, orange and walnut notes. There's a balance here between restrained alcohol, bright acidity and velvety tannins. It all comes together in each smooth sip. Michael Alberty (10 2025)

Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chapouin

The fine-grain tannins give the Costa Russi a charming and more accessible approach
