2022 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
2022 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Wohler Vineyard is located in the heart of the famed Russian River Valley, within a short stroll to the historic Wohler Bridge. Two blocks of Pinot Noir clones 667 and 828 crown the vineyard and form the core of this wine. They run up a steep slope with well-draining Goldridge soils. A third block of clone Wädenswil 2A rounds out our blend. In 2022, we vinified the three blocks separately and blended them to produce our best vintage yet from Wohler, showcasing intense red fruit aromas, layers of silky structure, and a long finish. This wine offers perfect tension.

"This outstanding 2022 Pinot Noir comes from the Wohler Vineyard which is centered in the middle of the Russian River Valley and set on Goldridge soils. The wine has outstanding finesse with a very juicy core of red fruits that parade with damp soils, cigar box, and shades of wet rock on the palate. Inviting now, this will surely live on for another fifteen years to come." - Owen Bargreen

Wine Spectator
"Ripe and inviting, offering high-pitched hints of rooibos tea and potpourri out front before its core of juicy red and black cherry compote catches up. Then, everything melds nicely, with a backdrop of sandalwood and iris through the finish. Tilting toward toasty in style overall, this is well-built." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
