Jeb Dunnuck: Napa Valley 2023: A Brilliant Vintage and a First Look at 2024

2023 001 Vintners Merlot Ecotone Vineyard
“98 POINTS, Mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Merlot Ecotone Vineyard offers rocking aromatics of black cherries, leafy herbs, chocolate, and spring flowers, with some cedary herbal notes. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, focused, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It's up with the top expressions of the variety in the valley. Give it 2-4 years, and it will cruise for 20 years.”

2023 001 Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon Ecotone Vineyard
“99 POINTS, From this cooler, elevated site above Meadowood in St. Helena, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Ecotone Vineyard delivers ripe blue and black fruits and a Graves-like scorched earth character with notes of smoke, tobacco, and chocolate. Deep purple-hued, it is a ripe, powerful, concentrated wine that still stays light on its feet, balanced, and seamless, with ultra-fine tannins. This is absolutely brilliant and will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age before hitting its stride.”

The Wine Advocate

2023 001 Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon Ecotone Vineyard
"RP 95+, The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Ecotone Vineyard boasts classic scents of crushed stone and pencil shavings over a base of ripe cherries and resinous herbs. It’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, dense and chocolaty, almost fudge-like, yet it somehow avoids feeling overly weighty while it glides into a lingering, softly tannic finish."

2023 001 Vintners Merlot Ecotone Vineyard
"RP 96, From this cool vintage, 001 has also made a terrific 2023 Merlot Ecotone Vineyard. Offering up a lovely, complex mélange of ripe cherries, Christmas spices and crushed stone, it’s full-bodied, plush, creamy and deceptively easy to drink while still possessing ample concentration, richness and length. Enjoy it over the next 10 to 15 years, possibly longer."
