Winemaker Notes
Lush and layered, this mesmerizing Pinot Noir reveals aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry, violets and sage, with subtle hints of vanilla sweetness from aging in new French oak. On the palate, beautifully layered tannins and bright acidity frame the concentrated red berry flavors with exotic floral and earthy spice notes adding to a long, dramatic finish.
Production
The 2022 Central Coast growing season began with near normal rainfall in January, with below-average precipitation the remainder of the season. The continued drought conditions led to an early budbreak, followed by a cool and windy spring that resulted in a lighter fruit set. Summer provided ideal ripening conditions with August temperatures in the 80s and 90s, yielding wines with exceptional varietal character, depth, and finesse. Due to naturally small berries, our 2022 Central Cost wines also offer great color, concentration and structure.
