The 2023 Summer Dreams Stargazing Pinot Noir proves that Jayson Woodbridge’s talent reaches far beyond his cult Cabernets. Here he turns the same obsessive attention toward coastal Pinot Noir, creating something richer and more hedonistic while still preserving remarkable balance and brilliance. Sourced from rugged high-elevation vineyards cooled by Pacific air and planted in classic Goldridge soils, this is a Pinot that feels both generous and precise. The 2023 vintage gave Woodbridge ideal conditions. Slow, even ripening preserved freshness while building exceptional concentration and layered complexity. A blend of 777, 828, 2A, and Pommard clones unfolds with vivid red fruit, crushed flowers, baking spice, and a subtle coastal minerality. The texture is plush and polished, yet the wine retains its lift and energy throughout. Decanter and Lisa Perrotti-Brown both gave it 96 points, but the wine hardly needs the scores to impress. From the first sip, Stargazing feels complete, rich, and harmonious, and it only grows more compelling as it opens in the glass.
