2023 Wrath Pinot Noir, McIntyre Vineyard

On the nose- a complex blend of ripe cherry, violets and allspice, blending with flavors of more ripe cherry, allspice and a mineral element this vineyard is known for.  There's a wonderful balance between acidity, minerality and fruit flavors.

Wines made from master-grower Steve McIntyre’s vineyard often exhibit the telltale characteristics of Santa Lucia Highlands terroir.  Our 2023 McIntyre Vineyard Pinot Noir is no exception.  Comprised of 100 percent 115 clone and made with 20 percent whole-cluster fermentation, it is dense and complex, with Bing cherry, berries, cooking spoices, a touch of smoke and a mineral element.  Berry flavors of cranberry and pomegranate remain persistent, blending with red cherry, more mineral and bright acidity in a structured finish.
