2022 Pinot Noir Reserve
Product Description
Our 2022 Pinot Noir Reserve is a focus on the earthiness of true rustic Burgundian style Pinot Noir. Hailing from a single vineyard, the Riverbench Vineyard of Santa Maria Valley AVA of California, this reserve wine was created by selecting the finest barrels from an already outstanding 2022 harvest.
Tasting Notes
A Pinot Noir Reserve of ruby red color with garnet highlights. On the nose you will find ripe red cherries, raspberry, and strawberry, followed by rose petals, dried herbs and a hint of forest floor. At the palate, you will find juicy red fruits like cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate, with secondary flavors of mushroom, damp leaves and a touch of anise.
AVA:
Santa Maria Valley, CA
Oaking/Aging Notes:
Aged for 9 months in French oak barrels of which 17% was new French oak, lending fine-grained and well integrated tannins
Recommended Food Pairings:
Roast duck with black cherry sauce, or grilled salmon. Pairs well with aged cheese like Comté or Gruyere
Special Notes About Region/Varietal:
The fruit for this vintage was sourced from the Riverbench Vineyard located in Santa Maria Valley, CA where cool evenings and warm day lead to the optimum ripening of this glorious Pinot Noir fruit and the creation of a lighter bodied wine. The clonal blend of this bottling is 90% 777 & 667 with the final 10% coming from the Pommard clone which results in a very focused earthy expression of the true essence of Pinot Noir. The Santa Maria Valley is south of Napa Valley and their Pinot Noirs rank highly in the Wine Enthusiast.
Awards/Accolades
Silver at the 2024 Finger Lakes International
