Capiaux 2022 Pinot Noir “Starscape” Russian River Valley 96 Points

FMW 96 Points: “The 2022 Pinot Noir Starscape is a real show-stopper.  Planted in the 1960s, these old vines still produce a very potent and intense Pinot Noir.  The 2022 vintage offers up a dark red-purple hue, and while robust on the palate, the wine is quite elegant with an amazing balance and structure.  The wine is medium to full in body loaded with black and blue-stone fruits, a hint of coffee, and cinnamon spice. As powerful as this wine is, it is equally elegant from start to finish leading into a long and complex finish.”
