Varietal Composition: 100% estate Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

Beautifully complex and refined, this Pinot Noir offers alluring flavors of fennel, sage, ripe black cherry, cedar and black tea. On the palate, silky tannins and hints of sweet oak and coastal herbs add drama and complexity to the luxurious dark berry and plum flavors as they build to a rich and harmonious finish.

Production

While the 2022 growing season in the Sonoma Coast was compact and eventful, it produced wines with lush, refined tannins, opulent layers of fruit and lively natural acidity. Thanks to warm summer temperatures, we began harvesting our warmest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard at ideal ripeness in mid-August. The arrival of a significant heat event near Labor Day gave the remaining vineyards a final push to ripeness and we concluded harvest in mid-September. Overall, the quality was spectacular. The Chardonnays have beautiful citrus and tropical aromas and lush, concentrated flavors, with the Pinot Noirs offering supple, refined tannin and luxurious layers of dark berry fruit.
