The 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvée Ruth is sourced from several vineyards planted on volcanic soils, including Justice, Koosah, Sojeau, Temperance Hill, Witness Tree, Bracken and X Novo. A 5% dash of whole bunches was used and the wine matured for 10 months in 30% new French oak. It will require some time in a decanter for its initial flinty reduction to give way to strawberry, raspberry, blood orange, licorice, lavender and spices. The light-bodied palate is punctuated by bright pops of juicy, perfumed fruit and citrusy top notes. It has very fine, tea-textured tannins, shimmery acidity and a long, layered finish. 825 cases were made.
