2022 Holloran Pinot Noir La Valise
Tasting notes
The wine shows deep burgundy color sitting in the glass, with aromas of cinnamon & fresh strawberry. On the palate the flavors evolve to cranberry and fresh cherry. The finish is quite long, with ripe tannins and black cherry notes.
Enjoy with simple Roasted Chicken, or Spice Roasted Pork Tenderloin.

2022 Pinot Noir La Valise
The 2022 growing season endured a bumpy start. A very cool, wet April & May delayed the growing season. Flowering happened 2-4 weeks later than usual, good conditions during flowering led to a robust fruit set. The summer temperatures were moderate with warm nights. We picked by hand, then hand sorted, destemmed 100%, and fermented primarily with cultivated yeasts. After a gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak barrels, ~5% new.
