2022 Heritage Pinot Noir

Deep ruby red, this wine is dense with aromatics of tart cherry, cranberry, tobacco and sandalwood. A soft mouthfeel and savory juiciness enhance it to completion, making it perhaps our most balanced Pinot in terms of flavor and mouthfeel.

Heritage Pinot Noir is the result of painstaking farming of one of our first heritage clones, Mount Eden, which we planted in 2007. The clonal selection stems from its namesake vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, planted in 1943 by Martin Ray with cuttings taken from Paul Masson’s La Cresta vineyard, itself planted in 1895–1896 with cuttings said to have been brought straight from Burgundy.
