Winemaker Notes
This lush and graceful cool-climate Pinot Noir draws you in with enticing aromas of blackberry, bramble, currant, cedar, and earthy forest floor, as well as oak-inspired hints of baking spices. On the palate, alluring red berry flavors are framed by soft, supple tannins, with bright acidity adding freshness to the long, vibrant 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.
