Winemaker Notes

This windswept mountain vineyard yielded a radiant and elegant Pinot Noir in 2022, with inviting aromas of Rainier cherry, black pepper, and raspberry. On the palate, vibrant notes of red currant and a hint of fresh strawberries are framed by lively acidity, leading to a crisp, polished finish.

Production

The Santa Cruz Mountains, known for their higher annual rainfall, experienced a beautifully paced growing season in 2022, with timely budbreak and bloom despite below-average precipitation. Warm, sunny summer weather supported steady vine development, though veraison arrived a few weeks later than usual. A heat event near Labor Day accelerated ripening, allowing us to harvest Muns Vineyard between September 12 and 14. The resulting wines shine with pure, vibrant flavors and energetic acidity.
