A bright ruby red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir is expressive and pure out of the gate and a total charmer. It lifts with notes of bright ripe cherries, baking spices, crushed roses, and forest earth. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean, tapered finish, it's classic all the way through, with a weightless feel. A gorgeous and easygoing red to drink now or over the next couple of years, it's a great value with versatility and should be a total crowd pleaser.

Violet and lavender florals give way to crushed blackberries as the 2022 Pinot Noir opens in the glass. It sweeps across the palate with soft, textural waves of ripe wild berry fruit, completed by a hint of cola. The 2022 cleans up well, crisp and fresh yet long, with a gentle tug of fine tannins.
