Tasting Notes
Aroma
Raspberry, plum and rhubarb compote mingle with hints of tobacco leaf and earth.
Maturation
100% French oak, 18% new,
5 months aging in oak.
Palate
Cran-raspberry, boysenberry and pomegranate are underpinned by earth driven avors of
beets and black tea. Plush, richly textured with juicy yet balanced acidity and integrated toasty
barrel spice.
Vinification
Fruit is cold soaked at 48°F for 3-5 days. Fermented in open top tanks, punched down 3 times per day
during active fermentation. Post-fermentation, free run was transferred to tank for one night of settling
before racking to new and used French oak barrels.
Vintage Notes
The Monterey Region had a wet start to winter- with early rainfalls helping to ease drought conditions
by replenishing both soil moisture and reservoirs. A mild spring and summer followed, and all was
normal until the September heatwave bought record temperatures to the region and with it a very rapid
onset to harvest. We did see slightly lower than average yields in Monterey in 2022 but a quality
harvest was quickly apparent with concentrated avors, balanced acidity and refined phenolic
development being the norm. Our Monterey Pinot Noir harvest began on September 7th.
