Winery Notes:
In the glass, a medium dark red core…deeper center than the others of this vintage. Good earthy intensity on the nose blended with brown sugar, cranberry and a little sarsaparilla (the American version!). A pretty lavender note hovering. Vibrant blue and black fruit with the sweet/tartness of boysenberry. A lingering finish hinting of maple syrup. Great structure for aging.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Starscape handled the rigors of the growing season admirably. Potent and deep, with notable resonance, the 2022 offers up an exotic mélange of dark cherry, plum, spice, lavender, new leather, licorice and gravel. The darker side of Martini clone Pinot comes through in this resonant, super-expressive offering." Drinking Window: 2023 – 2032
