2024 Stoller Vineyard Pinot Noir
NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER
Deep and expressive, this Pinot Noir opens with silky aromas of Luxardo cherry, blueberry, and plum, layered with notes of cherrywood, vanilla toast, leather, and dark chocolate. Subtle hints of white pepper and warm spice add lift and complexity. The palate is dense yet juicy, offering sweet blue and black fruit wrapped in a full, mouth-coating texture. Spice and warmth build through the mid-palate before resolving into silky, velvety tannins that linger. Rich and compelling now, with the structure and depth to evolve beautifully over the next several years.

Vintage Overview
We are forever grateful the 2024 vintage provided near-perfect fruit quality. Warm temperatures and a heat spike in May initiated early flavor development. June brought cooler weather, causing bloom two weeks later than usual. By summertime, the diurnal swings of more than 35 degrees created concentrated flavor with balanced acidity in the fruit. Mid-August presented an unusual rain event, giving the vines a healthy drink of water. As we started harvest, Mother Nature presented incredible, sunny days with crisp nights, ensuring our fruit was cold and berries were intact through destemming and fermentation. We knew this year would be special while walking the vineyard, and the wines reflect this exceptional vintage.
