Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a Pinot Noir for the person who lingers over dinner and loves a wine that keeps changing in the glass. Crafted by Jayson Woodbridge from micro-vineyard blocks on the Sonoma Coast's Goldridge soils, the 2022 opens with juicy blackberry and black cherry wrapped in forest floor, black truffle, crushed rock and wild sage. On the palate it is full-bodied and velvety, with striking acidity and minerality keeping all that dark fruit lively, and the finish runs long with dark berries, savory herbs and a touch of graphite. It makes a thoughtful gift for a promotion, an anniversary, or a host who appreciates a serious dinner bottle. It also suits collectors: its cellaring notes suggest it can evolve over the next 8 to 12 years, softening toward more delicate earthy notes. Encourage the recipient to decant it for 45 to 60 minutes, pour it into a Burgundy glass, and serve it alongside braised short ribs or wild mushroom risotto.

- Braised short ribs — The wine's deep dark fruit and earthy tones complement the rich, savory flavors of slow-cooked meat.
- Duck breast with cherry glaze — Its black cherry character echoes the glaze and highlights the dish's sweet-savory balance.
- Anniversary or promotion dinner — A long, layered finish of dark berries and graphite makes it a bottle worth opening slowly at a milestone celebration.
