Note di degustazione
The 2022 Pinot Noir VGR comes from grapes harvested September 9–17. It fermented and matured in 11% new oak, concrete and amphorae. It opens with very pretty strawberry jam and Italian plum aromas accented by wafts of tangerine peel, bitters and floral perfume. The light-bodied palate is finely astringent, with taut acidity lending focus to its perfumed fruit, and it has a long, layered finish. With its freshness and floral character, it drinks beautifully straight from the bottle. 457 cases were produced.

Grapes for the 2021 Pinot Noir Shea were harvested on September 9, underwent carbonic maceration in amphorae and matured in 50% new Damy oak. It opens slowly on the nose to reveal red plums, strawberry, licorice, saline and floral perfume. The light-bodied palate is electric! Its pure, fragrant flavors pleasurably flood the mouth, though its velvety tannins and taut acidity give it a weightless feel, and it has a notably long, detailed finish. Only 77 cases were made.

Crushed wild strawberries, lavender and cedar shavings form an inviting bouquet as the 2021 Pinot Noir VGR blossoms in the glass. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness, casting ripe red fruits across a cooling acid core. It finishes long and potent yet with admirable freshness, leaving hints of licorice and the slightest tug of fine tannin. This is a fun and energetic Pinot geared toward accessibility. The VGR (very good red) blends three vineyards: Shea, Stardance and Rich Hermann.
Dusty and floral, the 2021 Pinot Noir Shea wafts up with a whiff of autumnal spice and dusty rose, giving way to vivid black cherry. Cooling and energetic, crisp red fruits and hints of citrus flow across the palate, all motivated by brisk acidity. A gentle tannic tension lingers as the 2021 tapers off long and crunchy with a lasting hard red candy character. Beautiful today, but with a bright future ahead, this is a total pleasure to taste.
