Focused and well-integrated aromas of dark plum, raspberry, scarlet-red rose and all of the baking spices make for a very elegant and appealing nose on this bottling. Baked boysenberry and Luxardo cherry flavors are cut by creamy chai spices on the palate.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Twelve Clones is so easy to like. Soft in texture and finessed, notes of rose petals, cranberry and black tea unfold in the glass. Notably light on its feet compared to the majority of Pinots in the appellation, the Twelve Clones is charming in its less imposing style. Attractive blood-orange tones highlight the finish. - By Billy Norris
