The 2022 Mendocino Pinot Noir captures the essence of a challenging yet rewarding vintage. Produced during an extreme drought year with early budbreak and small yields, this wine showcases the resilience of California’s mature vines, particularly in the Potter Valley. Fruit from four Mendocino AVAs—Potter Valley, Yorkville Highlands, Anderson Valley, and Comptche—comes together to create a harmonious expression of this diverse region.

On the nose, Bing cherry, rose petal, and a hint of iron greet you. The palate unfolds with layers of black raspberry, dried tobacco, and lilac, complemented by brambly coastal berries, pine resin, and blue florals that highlight Mendocino's terroir.

Perfectly paired with chicken liver mousse, wild mushroom tartine, or a venison burger, this Pinot Noir is as versatile as it is captivating—a true love letter to Mendocino County.
