2022 Sylvia's Vineyard Pinot Noir
2022 Sylvia's Vineyard Pinot Noir
Established in 2005, Sylvia's vineyard is located in the heart of Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. Nurtured by Nekia soil, distinct for its volcanic origin and marine sedimentary deposits, our shallow, dry soils foster early ripening. Spanning 8 acres on a southeast slope, our non-irrigated, sustainable farming practices result in wines with bold structures and impeccable balance. This Oregon pinot noir is dark-fruited, featuring blackberry, plum, blueberry, and cassis notes, showcase the terroir's uniqueness.

vinification
Hand-harvested. Grapes were destemmed followed by a 3-5 day soak before fermentation. Fermenters received twice-daily pump overs for 12-18 days. Gently pressed and settled before aging in French oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.
vintage
2022 was a wild roller coaster ride with a spectacular finish. After a profoundly damaging spring frost the summer picked up the slack and delivered not only a bountiful crop, but also gave beautiful weather all the way into October, helping us get everything beautifully ripe. Grapes were healthy and balanced, with flavors developed well beyond typical for the modest sugar levels. Some outstanding wines of all types.
