2023 Tasting Notes
The 2023 Fusion Pinot Noir captures the harmonious diversity of LucidWild’s single- vineyard estate, blending fruit from our different blocks and clones to reflect the full character of the vineyard. Sourced from our 28-year-old vines, it balances power, grace, and intensity in seamless proportion. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and blackberry rise alongside subtle floral notes and a touch of earth. The palate unfolds with layered red and dark fruits, polished tannins, and a thread of minerality that carries through to a long, elegant finish, a complete and beautifully integrated expression of LucidWild Estate.
