Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2022

Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2022 is a sophisticated and highly expressive red wine that captures the cool-climate elegance of the Carneros region. Sourced exclusively from the estate's six sustainably farmed vineyards, this wine benefits from the maritime influence of the San Pablo Bay, which provides the fog and cool breezes essential for developing complex aromatics while maintaining fresh acidity. The 2022 vintage was aged for approximately 10 months in small French oak barrels to enhance its structure and mouthfeel.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of black cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry, accented by delicate floral notes of violet and a hint of sandalwood. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, showcasing layers of juicy red fruit, plum, and savory earthy notes. It features fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries the flavours through to a long, graceful finish with a touch of baking spice and toasted oak.
