Introduction:
A bold and expressive Pinot Noir from Del Rio’s Rock Point series. The 2022 vintage in Rogue Valley showcases ripe red fruit, vivid aromatics, and refined structure with smooth tannins.

Terroir:
Vineyards positioned in Rogue Valley, benefitting from warm days and cool nights. Soils are well‑drained, supporting healthy vine growth and good fruit ripeness with balanced acid retention.

Appearance:
Ruby red with moderate depth. Bright clarity and a slight garnet edge hint at some evolution.

Nose:
Strong aromas of blackberry, wild strawberry, red cherry, and subtle floral elements like violets. Vanilla and spice notes emerge, supported by a touch of cedar and wood smoke.

Palate:
Medium‑bodied with a juicy core of red and dark fruits. Balanced acidity lifts the fruit, with gentle oak spice, soft tannins, and faint sweetness countered by earthy undertones. The finish offers dark chocolate notes and smooth structure.

Finish:
Clean and lingering. Fruit tones fade gradually into cedar and earth, with fresh acid leaving a crisp aftertaste.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Rock Point Pinot Noir is a satisfying wine that balances richness and freshness. It impresses with its fruit intensity, textured tannins, and oak integration. Recommended pairings include grilled salmon, roast duck, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin with herbs, and soft cheeses like Brie. These foods highlight its berry character, oak spice, and structural grip.
