The 2022 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard is made entirely from the Dijon clone 777 and pours a deep magenta hue. In the glass, it gives off a more floral perfume, with notes of violets, black raspberry coulis, sweet cedar, and mossy forest floor, and a brighter fresh red fruit comes through on the palate. Medium-bodied, it reveals more focus on the palate, with a mouthwatering feel, and it has fine tannins and a light, salty finish. A very lovely wine, it's going to reach its tenth birthday with ease if stored properly.

The 2022 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard is one of the more delicate, ethereal wines in this year's lineup. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry fruit, mint and white pepper give the South Slope notable aromatic presence and lift. This is nicely done.
