2022 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir, Chanin

This combines a brooding, spicey character with crushed stone and floral aromas. The 2022 Bien Nacido Pinot is a complex, intensely terroir-driven wine with plenty in reserve – it’s best left alone for 5+ years. The palate is tightly wound, chalky and sapid, but with a coating of ripe red fruit. Has all the makings of a stunning cool climate Pinot Noir. 15% new oak, as is the case across the range.
