2022 Precious Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir

Red fruits with a dried herb and dusty, earthy quality are coaxed from the glass. A hint of dried rose petals and lavender adds a lift to the dark-fruited profile. With air, the red fruit character appears as raspberry confiture. Tannic at the outset, the structure continues down the palate and finishes with a grapefruit-like sensation. High atop the Sonoma Coast, Precious Mountain is typified by structure and savory qualities. Low yielding and dry farmed, it is easy to understand why this wine is so intense. Patience in the cellar will be rewarded with a sublime texture.

Reviews

97 / James Suckling

So tangy, firmly tannic and mouthwatering, this tightly wound wine will benefit from more aging. Vivid acidity backs up concentrated raspberry, black cherry and red currant flavors. Made from a small, dry-farmed vineyard on the top of a mountain on the Sonoma Coast that was first planted in the 1970s. Drinkable now, but best from 2029. – J.G.
