"Ruby-hued, the 2024 Pinot Noir Kokoro has a Vosne-Romanée-like perfume of black raspberries, sappy flowers, and spice. Aged 18 months in 65% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with fine, polished tannins, perfect balance with tannins, acidity, fruit, and alcohol flawlessly integrated, and a great, great finish. This heavenly, seamless, absolutely jaw-dropping Pinot Noir will compete with anything out there. Don't miss it." — 98pts, Jeb Dunnuck
