2024 Muska Pinot Noir
95 Points | James Suckling- Located on our hillside, Muska’s fruit arrives early in the morning, still cold from the night before. Juicy dark cherry, subtle spice notes, and dried florals are contained within sustained structure. Broad, deep, lively, and fresh. The wine is as well rounded as the vineyard itself.
Very pretty, floral and red-fruited, with some cool blue fruit aromas. Interesting saline minerality on the palate. Good concentration. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold.

"A gorgeous and inviting nose leads the way, with bright acidity and a seamless balance between fruit and oak. Lush red fruits take center stage, layered with dried herbs, rosemary, a subtle hint of coffee bean, all wrapped in a touch of earthy complexity that will continue to settle and evolve with time. Elegant and complete, this wine offers a little bit of everything in beautiful harmony. ONe of the standouts of the 2024 vintage so far, it shows both polish and personality. Sourced from our Greater Estate hillside vineyards, this is a Pinot Noir with true versatility equally at home across seasons. Simply put, it’s a joy to drink.”

“Located on our hillside, Muska’s fruit arrives early in the morning, still cold from the night before. Juicy dark red cherry, subtle spice notes, and dried florals with a sustained structure. Broad and deep while still lively and fresh. Couldn’t be more happy with how this wine turned out.”

"This wine offers an intriguing nose of fried flowers and herbs layered with playful notes of cherry bubblegum and vibrant red fruit. The palate shifts into deeper tones of black cherry, red and black plum, and pomegranate, with a touch of cedar adding savory complexity. High acidity and medium tannins bring freshness and structure to the medium-bodied palate, leading to a balanced and expressive finish."
