Tasting Notes

Aroma
Raspberry, plum and rhubarb compote mingle with hints of tobacco leaf and earth.

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 flavors, balanced acidity and refined phenolic development being the norm. Our Monterey Pinot Noir harvest began on September 7th.
