2022 Weather Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES:

2022 Weather Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is sourced from one of the best marine-influenced regions for this sensitive varietal. Pale ruby tones with bright aromas of black raspberry and macerated strawberry have earthy undercurrents of tobacco leaf. Deep, vibrant flavors of wild berries, plum, and pomegranate have just a touch of allspice from being aged 9 months in 30 percent new French oak. Bright, front-palate flavors unfold into balanced layers with an energetic finish promising excellent cellaring potential.

VINTAGE NOTES:

The 2022 Sonoma Coast, California growing season started with a stretch of sunny days with a well-timed downpour prompting an early bud break. The summer season was sunny, steady, and mild with late-season heat. Occasional heat spikes were balanced by cool marine fog in the mornings and evenings. The enduring, moderate conditions through to harvest time confirmed 2022 as an exceptional vintage producing intriguing, vibrant wines with complex flavor development.
