WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This is our third vintage farming Lewman Vineyard and our second making a singular wine since we purchased the property. We had many excellent options at our disposal, and we elected to focus our attention on the southern blocks, which we felt had the best natural balance on the property. One of the many things that makes this property unique is the way savory and fruit come together: aromas of shiitake mushroom, soy, and cooking chocolate layer over black cherry, blueberry, and blood orange. There is a density and gravity to this vintage and this wine that will reward 3-5 years of patience and I think the real payoff will come in 10-15 years.
TASTING NOTES:
Deep, layered scents of pomegranate, rhubarb, tea leaves, salami and dried flowers. It gains purity as it airs in the glass, and its spicy undertones seem on the precipice of bursting open. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, spicy flavors structured by powerful, powdery tannins and chiseled acidity, though its fruit is still youthfully coiled. Give it 3-5 years in the cellar to blossom.

Spiced citrus peel, rose, lavender, ground ginger and crushed stone create a compelling bouquet as the 2022 Pinot Noir Lewman Vineyard bursts from the glass. This is lifted and ethereal, seeming to hover across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits, offset by zesty acidity. The 2022 takes on a tart concentration through the finish, mixing edgy tannins with hints of blood orange as it tapers off pleasantly chewy and incredibly long. There's a lot of power beneath the hood, but there’s also an energetic core to balance it all out.
