The initial nose is warm raspberry jam, chili pepper and chipotle balanced by flinty notes of gunsmoke and red clay that open to rose petals, magnolia, cloves, and salt air. The mouth holds long , dark tannins of cola, white pepper, and spices of star anise, cardamom, and juniper, finishing with an explosion of blue fruit. Our Laurelwood soil meets Burgundy in this glass.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Laurelwood District bursts from the glass with inviting scents of blueberry, red cherry, dried herbs, tobacco and orange peel. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, perfumed flavors and well-integrated new oak spice. It’s structured by silky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, floral finish.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Laurelwood comes together slowly in the glass, dusty and floral, with cedar and crushed black raspberries. It’s round with a tension-filled core of tart red berry fruits and spice elevated by juicy acidity. This tapers off long and staining yet is still relatively fresh, leaving violet inner florals to fade through the juicy finale.
