2022 Thorn Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir

The 2022 vintage was a solar year, marked by incredible heat spikes late in the season. This was a vintage that really rewarded these cool climate sites that are the Reeve signature, preserving a sense of fresh fruit despite the conditions. 
For this year we utilized three blocks of the Thorn Ridge; Vineyard; young vine 115, old vine 115 and Pommard.  Fermentation was done in small, two-ton, open top stainless fermenters with 20% whole cluster and lasted 23 days. It was pressed in a small Coquard basket press at dryness. The wine has a decidedly savory edge in both aroma and flavor, combining earthy and herbal notes with dark plum fruit. Despite the heat of the growing season, we find this wine to still have brisk acidity and a pleasant refreshing quality to it.
