While the 2022 growing season in the Sonoma Coast was compact and eventful, it produced wines with lush, refined tannins, opulent layers of fruit and lively natural acidity. Thanks to warm summer temperatures, we began harvesting our warmest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard at ideal ripeness in mid-August. The arrival of a significant heat event near Labor Day gave the remaining vineyards a final push to ripeness and we concluded harvest in mid-September. Overall, the quality was spectacular. The Chardonnays have beautiful citrus and tropical aromas and lush, concentrated flavors, with the Pinot Noirs offering supple, refined tannin and luxurious layers of dark berry fruit.
 
Winemaker Notes
This lush and impeccably balanced wine leaps from the glass with aromas of concentrated red fruit, cherry, cedar and forest floor. On the palate, the flavors turn dark and luxurious with lush tannins and hints of vanilla and French oak adding depth and complexity to a lingering berry and spice finish.
