Introduction:
The 2022 Olema Pinot Noir is a silky and expressive red that highlights Sonoma County’s cool-climate elegance. Balancing bright fruit with earthy depth, it’s crafted for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards across Sonoma County’s varied subregions, including Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. The combination of well-drained sandy loam soils and Pacific breezes allows for slow ripening, developing nuanced flavors while preserving natural acidity.

Tasting notes:
From an excellent vintage characterized by near-perfect weather conditions throughout the season, the 2022 Olema Pinot Noir Sonoma County entices with a prominent nose featuring blackberry compote, cinnamon sticks, and fresh red berries. On the palate, a subtle hazelnut toastiness is entwined with black cherry, mulling spices, and delicate rose water. The finish has a nuanced spice and medium body. (winery notes)

Press:
92 points, James Suckling: 
"Aromas of cedar, dried strawberries, and hints of toffee follow through to a light to medium body with attractive orange flavors and acidity highlighting the fruit described in the nose. Drink or hold."

Overall Impression:
A polished and versatile Pinot Noir that captures Sonoma’s balance of fruit purity and savory complexity. Excellent with roasted salmon, mushroom risotto, poultry dishes, or soft cheeses.
