“Keeping good energy throughout, this shows punch and drive for the vintage, with a solid core of mulberry and boysenberry coulis notes backed by light apple wood and anise hints. Drink now through 2029. 9,400 cases made.”

Highlights

Vibrant and finely gripped, this 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir opens with tart red cherry, cranberry, red plum, and boysenberry, layered with orange peel, bergamot, earl grey tea, and a hint of crunchy sea salt. Bright acidity and fine tannins carry the juicy palate to a long, pure finish, with notes of violets, raspberry, pomegranate, licorice, and forest floor.

A ruby-edged violet hue sets expectations for the tart red cherry and cranberry aromas that open in the glass, evolving into red plum and boysenberry steeped with orange peel, bergamot, and earl gray tea. Vibrant tension and a satisfying grip carry through the juicy palate with an intriguing hint of crunchy sea salt. A bright acidity adds freshness to the long, pure finish.

Critical Acclaim

95 James Suckling

Sliced strawberry with bark and stone with some sand undertones. Graphite. Medium-bodied, tight and focused with spices such as pepper and bark. Flavorful finish.

93 Jeb Dunnuck

A ripe ruby/magenta color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is effusive and floral out of the gate, with lovely notes of fresh violets, ripe black raspberries, and a hint of orange peel. It has a refined feel, with fine tannins and lovely freshness throughout, as well as a lasting, fresh, juicy finish. Drink 2024-2049.

93 Wine Enthusiast

This intensely colored Pinot gives waves of raspberry and cherry liqueur aromas on the nose, with hints of herb mélange emerging over time. The palate is deeply saturated and juicy, with flavors of roasted cherry, spiced orange peel and sarsaparilla on the balanced palate.

Keeping good energy throughout, this shows punch and drive for the vintage, with a solid core of mulberry and boysenberry coulis notes backed by light apple wood and anise hints.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 

The 2022 Pinot Noir has a slowly blossoming perfume of raspberry, pomegranate and blackberry with notes of licorice, rooibos tea and forest floor. The light-bodied palate is supple and juicy with crunchy red fruit and a long, spicy finish. It's a brighter, leaner style than usual but very easy to drink!
