Satoshi’s Reserve 2023

Each year I taste every barrel and select the single best expression of the vintage for Satoshi’s Reserve. This is the highest standard I hold for Peony Lane wine, set against the bar that Satoshi established. This wine is drinking beautifully now and will age gracefully in cold storage for whatever milestone you choose to hold it for. Only 210 bottles exist, each numbered 1 through 210 and signed.

The Wine

The 2023 Satoshi’s Reserve is Estate Pinot Noir, grown by Ben Justman in Paonia, Colorado, within the highest elevation wine region in North America. High elevation lends itself to a light and bright Pinot Noir, with elegant fruit and acidity that holds it together. It drinks clean and refreshing either on its own or with lighter meals.

- Farmed without herbicides or pesticides
- No toxic additives, a very small amount of sulfur, unfiltered and unfined

Wine from this vineyard has proven its ability to age. We have opened bottles after 18 years that were still improving.
