Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 92
The 2022 Pinot Noir has more concentration than the previous vintage. It shows a mixture of red and black fruit and veins of blue fruit that I have not noticed in previous releases. It’s riper but still very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy, ripe black fruit, perhaps a little more New World influenced than Burgundy. Grainy tannins are well integrated with impressive grip towards the finish, with a touch of white pepper on the aftertaste. This will require a couple of years in bottle. Drink 2024-2035
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2035
Vinous 92
The 2022 Pinot Noir spent 12 months in oak and opens with gentle smokiness and a touch of blood orange, but also introduces a darker note of elderberry. It is ripe and almost full-bodied, yet achieves the perfect harvest point that preserves the nature of Pinot Noir even in the hot year of 2022. Tannins are smooth, responding to a lovely savoriness that tingles gently with pepper and wild rose hedge. This is lovely now but will be even better with bottle age.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2035
