sleek and focused flavors

Reduction presently dominates but there is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the detailed and tautly muscular flavors that possess good size and weight before terminating in a balanced and equally serious finish that is now austere to the point of being slightly strict

Walter Scott, Sojeau Vineyard Pinot Noir Vintage:2022 sleek and focused flavorsThe 2021 Pinot Noir Sojeau Vineyard blossoms with an array of dried violets and sweet lavender complementing wild blueberries. This creates a display of contrasts, saline minerals and sour citrus complicate tart wild berry fruit depths, all enlivened by brisk acidity. Staining and incredibly long, the 2021 leaves the mouth watering for more despite its grippy tannins as rosy inner florals fade. This is spicy to the core.
