2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
In Stock
Winemaking Notes
Ripe cherry, red plum, and dusty baking spice aromas lead to caramel and umami flavors of mushroom, clove, and earth with subtle layers of toasted oak; silky tannins over good supporting acidity last through the creamy finish with dark plum and spice flavors in our 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
Vineyard Notes
The 2022 vintage was very mild. Rain from the previous autumn was light, and the new year entered
warm and dry with daytime highs up to 70°F in early spring. An unusual sprinkle of rain in early
summer was no cause for concern, and the temperature turned predictably hot a few days in June as
usual, but the season was mild overall, with most summer days peaking around 85-90°F. An early
start to harvest came as no surprise with the seasonable weather, we harvested from
August 18th to September 19th.
