2022 Legacy Nancy's Pinot Noir

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER

The aromas of the 2022 Nancy’s Pinot Noir take you from the glass straight to the bramble patch with damp earth and an overabundance of fresh blackberries. Juicy and fresh on the palate with a framework of well-defined power due to the whole cluster fermentation. More dark fruit flavors of tart cherry and black currant are present on the palate with an element of spice that runs through the wine shifting from cedar to baking spice to pipe tobacco during a long and powerful finish.

VINTAGE OVERVIEW

The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring followed by an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying sections of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid-May and continued to rise throughout the summer, allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 13, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished on October 21.
