Winemaker Notes
The 2022 vintage was a season filled with curveballs. In the Anderson Valley, the growing season began with ideal weather conditions through early summer, until an extended heat event beginning in late August accelerated the harvest and reduced yields for our Pinot Noir. For many California wine regions, this was a tale of two harvests, as a Labor Day heat wave divided the season into earlier and later picks. 2022 was an excellent vintage that made wines with beautiful intensity and great structure.
Winemaker
Matt Iaconis
Fermentation
All lots of Pinot Noir undergo an extended cold soak until native yeasts begin a spontaneous fermentation in open-top fermenters. De-stemmed grapes are punched down by hand once to twice per day. Our small lot fermentations take upwards of a month to finish, before a light pressing to barrel for their aging.
Aging
8 months
Barrel
100% French oak barrels (10% new)
