2022 Pinot Noir La Cruz Vineyard

91 pts, The 2022 Pinot Noir La Cruz Vineyard pours a medium red/ruby color, and it has a lovely mineral lift on the nose, with notes of wet stones, cherry lozenge, candied roses, and toasted spice. Medium-bodied, it keeps a classic feel while retaining good freshness, with fine tannins and a spicy, mouthwatering lift on the finish. Drink 2024-2030. 589 cases were produced. -- Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck - 91 pts, From lower-elevation hillside vines, the La Cruz combines several clones, including Pommard and several Dijon clones, like 667, 777, and 828. Ripe red and black fruits, smoke, and warm spices mark the aromatics. The palate is concentrated as a spice melange, and savoury dessert scrub envelops red and black berries.
