Source copy retained to help verify the exact product; BottlePicker’s analysis above is based on structured identity and price evidence.

A savory expression of Pinot Noir showcasing fresh earth, spice, orange rind and bay leaves. It is in keeping with the Escarpment style with forest floor, sumac and mulberry aromas. The wine expresses the elegance of the 2022 vintage with a palate that is bright and juicy with purity and drive bringing tension to every sip. It is medium bodied and a distinct expression of Martinborough Pinot Noir and the vintage. Serve with Asian cuisine, Beef Bourgogne or full flavored fish. The 2022 Pinot Noir is super spicy on the nose, with sumac, blood orange, tobacco, black tea and cherry pip. In the mouth, the wine is light and spicy but intense-the acidity feels like it wraps around the fruit, leading to a fine-boned and red-fruited expression. It's a beauty. Really elegant but structural. The tannins are ductile and focused. I like the grip and pull of the tannins through the finish. It seems to plume with a coal dust, graphite character. Creamy peach, lemon blossom, dried strawberry and cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body. Lovely fresh, balanced and focused tannins that are nicely polished. Just a bit of bitterness at the end, giving it interest. Offers a generous, rich mix of spiced plum, date bread and preserved black cherry, while a hint of roasted beet mingles with fresh earth, spice and toast notes on a velvety frame.
