Black cherry top notes mix with tangerine peel and hints of leather and cedar. Interesting point-counterpoint elements that create an incredibly layered wine. The Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir is one of the few wines in our portfolio that is a single clonal selection, but the diversity of the site and the old vine character of nearly 50-year-old vines is what creates its richness and complexity. The wine builds on the palate with red fruits and peaks with black tea-like tannins and a citrus freshness.
2022 Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir
Reviews
95 / Robert Parker
The 2022 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard comes from Martini clone vines planted on AXR rootstock in 1974. Matured for 15 months in 60% new oak, initial tones of flint and coffee give way to blackberry, red cherry, lilac, iron and fennel. The medium-bodied palate has a seamless structure of velvety tannins and bright acidity, and its concentrated flavors glide into a long finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle. – E.B.
