2022 Our Lady of Guadalupe - OLG Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA (750ml) Missouri shadowed by winter spice

shadowed by winter spice

blackberry and violet aromas

bright and oh so lemony

I would give the 2022 a year or two in bottle to shed some of its baby fat

fresh wildflowers and hard candy

2022 Our Lady of Guadalupe - OLG Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA (750ml) Missouri shadowed by winter spiceTASTING NOTES: Aged 10 months in 49% new French oak, with a 3. 76pH and 14. 8% alcohol, the 2022 leads with a more savoury profile than the inaugural 2021 release (also a fabulous wine). Alluring candied cherry notes are scented with expressive cedarwood laced with fragrant cumin and flamed orange peel. A polished wine on entry with silky textured fruit so pure and so ripe and bright and perfectly expressive of black cherry, black plum, Red Delicious
