North Valley Description
Entrancing aromas of pomegranate, boysenberry, black berry, dark cherry, and black raspberry mingle with earthy minerals and a warm meatiness. Dry with a medium+ body and medium tannins and acidity, the palate is gently oily and shows wonderful flavors of black raspberry, black cherry, raisin, dark chocolate, earth, and minerals leading to a deliciously lingering finish. Soft and complex, great quality!

The 2022 Pinot Noir North Valley Estate Vineyard is zesty, opening with a spritz of blood orange and crushed blackberries elevated by hints of sage. This is silky-smooth and more savory than anticipated, with a liquid lavender saturation and a wave of ripe black fruits, all offset by citrus tones. It finishes spicy and gently tannic, leaving the palate watering for more. This is a darker rendition of Oregon Pinot, yet it’s balanced to the core.
