Taut and vibrant, with a stelly core of acidity and tannins that drives the flavors of raspberry, cranberry and dusky spices toward the firm finish. Best from 2025 through 2031.

WINEMAKER NOTES
Our Pinot Noir Estate is always the best place to start when evaluating our growing season and winemaking intent in any given vintage. It incorporates nearly all sections of our three estate vineyards in various amounts, and as such provides an honest evaluation of the year. The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir reflects the multifaceted nature of the vintage: the abundance of fruit, the acidity from a relatively cool growing season, and the effusive fruit from harvesting in the warmest October on record. Blending the Estate is often our most difficult task because it is our largest bottling each vintage, and thus spans nearly 214 barrels. We approach this wine like we do our others, with the singular goal to make the best, most transparent wine we can.
