2022 Seven Springs Pinot Noir

93pts Wine Spectator

Seven Springs Pinot Noir comes primarily from our oldest own-rooted block of Pinot Noir at the vineyard. Originally planted in 1982, these Pommard clones thrive in iron-rich, volcanic Jory soils. The 40-year-old dry-farmed vines are harvested by hand, the grapes are hand sorted, and nearly all of the fruit is destemmed.

Drinkability and structure have come to define this estate cuvée, and the 2022 bottling is no different. It shows the many colors of young Pinot Noir - juicy blue and red berries, blood orange and pink peppercorn - with an herbal, thyme-like kick. Packed with energy, fine tannins and spice hang on.
