2022 Holtermann Vineyard Pinot Noir
Blood orange peel and pomegranate pulp flavors are accented with hints of cedar, forest floor, mint, licorice and violets, and assembled with the purity and brightness of its high natural acidity.
The 2.56-acre Holtermann Vineyard, located just north of Annapolis, CA (population 200) and five miles inland from the captivating Sea Ranch coastal community, is truly farming on the edge. Its proximity to the ocean moderates daily high temperatures and diurnal fluctuations, leading to consistent seasons and slow, balanced fruit development.
