The availability of this product is limited and subject to change.Jeb Dunnuck ReviewRated 96Named after Mimi Casteel of Hope Well, the 2023 Pinot Noir Mimi’s Mind has a deeper profile and pours a ruby red color. Boasting lush notes of sage, forest earth, black cherries, and wildflowers, it’s a structured red with a medium to full-bodied frame and offers more power in the range while remaining elegant. It has some grip through the finish, but I see this one improving over time and drinking its best over the next 15-20 years.
