Winemaker Notes
A refined and richly layered Pinot Noir, this wine opens with inviting aromas of blackberry, cocoa bean, and a touch of aged cedar. On the palate, vibrant notes of black raspberry and fresh strawberry are framed by velvety tannins, with a hint of allspice adding depth to the long, complex finish.
Production
The 2022 vintage from the majestic hills of Mt. Harlan reflects the character of an extraordinary growing season, yielding profoundly robust yet dynamic wines with concentrated flavors and impeccable balance. Despite another year of drought, two much-needed winter rain events brought a total of 12 inches of rainfall, nurturing the vines for an impressive vintage. Moderate spring temperatures ensured ideal budbreak, followed by a summer of abundant sunshine and temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s. These conditions produced wines of remarkable quality, destined to be celebrated for years to come.
