Note di degustazione
Hints of herby complexity with black cherry, liquorice, light oak spice and cocoa. There's no whole-cluster element in this vintage, but the herby note might apparently be from shade that is caused by a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare. Whatever the reason: yum. (RH)

The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard comes from high-density, Swan and Calera-clone vines planted in 2004. Grapes were harvested on August 15-16, well before the Labor Day heat wave. This has expressive, wild aromas of black and red berries, blood orange, earth, violet and botanicals. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, spicy fruit. Its mouthwatering acidity and powdery tannins give it a sense of weightlessness, and it has a long, detailed finish. 810 cases were made.
From the estate’s top vineyard, planted with 100% Calera clone in more clay soil, the 2022 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard boasts a ripe ruby color and classic aromas of pure cherries, candied roses, sweet Asian spices, and sweet sap. Medium-bodied, it’s elegant and refined on the palate, with a silky texture, an approachable feel, and a fresh, clean, soft, stony finish. Drink 2024-2036.
