Aromatically, this wine is all about the red fruit, with aromas of raspberries and strawberries drizzled in powdered sugar. The wine's not-quite-ripe blackberry flavor joins with boisterous acidity to create a slightly astringent sensation. Additional flavors include a meaty quality joined by green tea. This needs some time to unwind.

A mix of cinnamon, cocoa and minty herbs introduces the 2022 Pinot Noir. It washes across the palate, soft and lifted, yet it locks depth and concentration. The 2022 leaves behind a hint of candied citrus, finishing fresh but rather short.
