2022 Main Ridge Pinot Noir

$70.00

This stunning wine is crafted from a beautiful site and showcases exceptional attention to detail. The fruit is fully destemmed and undergoes a seven-day cold soak in a carbonic environment to preserve its vibrant character, with gentle pump-overs to maintain whole fruit integrity. After six weeks on skins, it is pressed directly into oak, including 15% new barrels. Made from the Pommard clone, just four barrels were produced.

On the nose, it bursts with red cherries, poached strawberries, and rhubarb, intertwined with hints of pimento, cinnamon, and a touch of cedar. The palate offers a delightful interplay of fruit sweetness and savory complexity, with tangy pomegranate-like acidity, tamarind, and a subtle menthol note. Fine, dusty, peppery tannins and sappy succulence provide structure, while a zesty, bright finish of exceptional length lingers beautifully.

Subtle oak nuances delicately frame this lighter-styled wine, enhancing its elegance and charm.
