2022 PINOT NOIR
We’re thrilled to release our 2022 Pinot Noir. Sourced from the Rio Del Mar vineyard, an 11 acre site that sits 800 yards from the Pacific Ocean, our ’22 Pinot exemplifies the finest qualities that Santa Cruz Pinot Noir has to offer. The proximity to the coast allows for a slow and even ripening process, which contributes to excellent flavor development on the vine. In total, we produced 4 barrels that underwent a fermentation using naturally occurring yeast, preserving the delicate intricacies of the vineyard site. The wine spent 11 months aging in neutral French oak barrels that introduced a touch of richness and weight to the palette. Generous offerings of red fruit make their presence known on the nose, balanced out with ample structure that retains a gentle tannin profile and lingering finish.
