97 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Sourced from Mount Carmel Vineyard on the southern side of the appellation and fermented with 6% whole clusters, the Mail Road 2023 Pinot Noir Mount Carmel Vineyard was aged 12 months in once- and twice-used French oak. Similarly medium ruby and semi-opaque, it offers wild raspberries, rose petals, underbrush, and subtle marine nuances. Medium-bodied, ultra-pure, seamless, and silky on the palate, with integrated acidity, ultra-fine tannins, and a gorgeous finish, it's a sensational Grand Cru-level effort from this team and has so much to love. It will keep for 15+ years in cold cellars. Drink 2025-2040."
Mount Carmel Vineyard is the exclusive purveyor to Mail Road Wines. Mount Carmel Vineyard is located on a steep, south-facing cliff, north of the Santa Ynez River. Established in 1990 by Ron and Nancy Piazza, the vineyard is planted to a variety of own-rooted, organically and principally dry farmed, heritage Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones.
