Cristom 'Eileen Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2022 Ricca Terra A triumph over the adverse

A triumph over the adverse conditions of the vintage

and a touch of chalky minerality

softly mouthwatering with a weight and density from the oak ageing that also gives a slightly spiced edge to the peach

elegant fruit for the vintage

but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end

Cristom 'Eileen Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2022 Ricca Terra A triumph over the adverseA deeper and layered profile emerges in the 2022 Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard, which comes from windswept site where the grapes get thick skins from the wind. It has a more woodsy profile, with savory saline, brothy feel, tea leaf, toasted spice, and black cherries. Drink it over the coming 15 20 years. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
