Brooding and mysterious, the aromatics need some coaxing from the glass. A wild fruit character is highlighted in the nose with elements of dried herbs and earthiness. Terra de Promissio is in a cold and windy site that hastens ripening and allows for terrific development of flavor and tannins. Dark cherry notes and dried herbs predominate the palate. The wine has a super silky texture in the mouth owing to the moderate acid and excellent tannin resolution.
2022 Terra de Promissio Vineyard Pinot Noir
Reviews
94 / Robert Parker
Matured for 15 months in 63% new oak, the 2022 Pinot Noir Terra de Promissio Vineyard is fantastically perfumed! Scents of blackberry and pomegranate liqueur mingle with accents of conifer forest, Angostura bitters and hibiscus. The palate is elegantly styled with complex, detailed flavors. It’s structured by finely astringent tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. – E.B.
93 / Wine Spectator
A distinct, racy-edged version, with lively elements of savory, sage and sassafras running through a core of enticing raspberry and black cherry compote flavors, showing flint and sauvage notes through the finish. Best from 2025 through 2035. 525 cases made. – J.M.
