Patricia Green Cellars Reserve Pinot Noir 2022

__

The 2022 vintage is an unusual (but beautiful) one where a frost event delayed the onset of bloom and flowering but did not prevent the fruit from achieving high levels of ripeness even in the face of record level harvest tonnages in some places. Wines are particularly red fruited, ripe, supple, and delicious at early ages in this vintage. Perfect for a bottling that values consumption at a youthful age.

Vinous: 91
The 2022 Pinot Noir Reserve is vividly fruit-focused with a burst of crushed raspberries, lavender and peppery rose. Silky and sleek, this mixes tart red berries with hints of spicy citrus carried over a core of zesty acidity. This tapers off with steely minerality and palpable with silty tannins that add a pleasantly tactile feel.
