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. Erin Brooks, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2022 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is laced with black cherry, plum, leather, cloves, rose petals and lavender, which are nicely amplified in this succulent, mid-weight Pinot Noir. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner sweetness and perfume. Soft contours wrap it all together in style. Pretty floral and mineral notes linger. The DuMOL Estate Pinot is typically a blend of Calera and Swan clones. In 2022, the team opted to use only the Calera section. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
