Pinot Noir Sauvage Vineyard, Burn Cottage Vineyard 2022

The 2022 Sauvage Vineyard Pinot Noir is darker in the glass compared to the Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir of the same vintage. Here, the nose leads with dried herbs and cranberry, black cherry, pomegranate molasses, dark chocolate and raspberry notes. There's also nori, sweet tobacco and sage. In the mouth, the wine is ripe and plush with chewy tannins and a substantive, fulsome sort of impact. This has loads of everything, including length of flavor. This is a bigger wine than last year's offering, which will please many. I love single-vineyard wines, the lens through which we can view the year that made them and the strength of the site, above all. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink: 2024-2037
