Reeve Wines Rice-Spivak Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 Review

Sonoma-based Reeve crafts terroir-driven wines from a series of high-quality sites across northern California. This particular bottling comes from the unique Rice-Spivak vineyard, a six-acre site just south of the town of Sebastopol, in an area with heavy wind influence and a mixture of sandy loam and volcanic ash soils. The resulting wine is transcending. It’s full of fresh character on the nose with notes of cherries, saline, and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is rich with fleshy fruit and incredible acidity. The weight on the palate is just right with a beautiful medium body. A damn good wine.
