Beast
Pinot Noir
The Beast Pinot Noir is a testament to the power and finesse of LucidWild’s single-vineyard estate and crafted from complex and diverse yet refined Pinot Noir clones.
2023 Tasting Notes
The 2023 Beast Pinot Noir captures the untamed character and elevated precision of LucidWild’s single-vineyard estate. Aromas of dark plum, crushed blackberry, and wild strawberry rise from the glass, layered with subtle notes of forest floor and baking spice. The palate is expansive yet finely tuned, revealing vibrant red and blue fruit framed by supple tannins and natural energy. The finish lingers with depth and clarity, a compelling expression of site and season from LucidWild Estate.
