First Vines Pinot Noir 2022

Made with complete transparency, our intention was to simply showcase exceptional fruit from our oldest vines in an outstanding vintage. Using no whole bunch or new oak, the tannins in this Pinot Noir are entirely fruit-derived. Pinot Noir grapes from our first-planting vines were handpicked and small-batch fermented in neutral barrique with no additions. Composed from barriques identified in the winery as exceptional with 80% Sarah’s Block Pinot Noir, the wine spent 16 months in oak before bottling. Neither fined nor filtered, it was bottled at Terra Sancta under cork and wax.

Some delicious smoke and spices at the end. This will age beautifully. From 30-year-old vines on their own roots. Drink or hold.
