Bethel Heights Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2022
Bethel Heights Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2022
Their Pinot Noir Estate is always the best place to start when evaluating their growing season and winemaking intent in any given vintage. It incorporates nearly all sections of the three estate vineyards in various amounts, and as such provides an honest evaluation of the year. The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir reflects the multifaceted nature of the vintage: the abundance of fruit, the acidity from a relatively cool growing season, and the effusive fruit from harvesting in the warmest October on record. Blending the Estate is often the most difficult task because it is the largest bottling vintage, spanning nearly 214 barrels. Bethel Heights’ approaches this wine like all others, with the singular goal to make the best, most transparent wine they can.
Taut and vibrant, with a stelly core of acidity and tannins that drives the flavors of raspberry, cranberry and dusky spices toward the firm finish.
