2022 'Joie' Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES

Youthful and deep purple in color with a brilliant edge and limpidity,  the nose opens with aromas of fresh field strawberries, dusty rose petals, and hints of lavender and bergamot.  Elegant and balanced, those aromas blossom with a swirl to fresh peonies and an assortment of mixed berries: some raspberries and fresh strawberries intertwined with hints of blueberry peach crumble. Smooth yet vibrant on the palate with a juicy core of red fruits, the silky tannin profile travels beautifully through mid-palate and tightens elegantly through the finish. There is a harmonious balance of bramble berries, strawberries, hints of baking spice and earthy minerality. This wine reveals the compelling classic Pinot Noir characteristics all around: light yet wonderfully full, and with an energy to age beautifully and gracefully over time.
