2022 Holloran Pinot Noir Dundee Hills 1.5
Tasting notes
The nose greets with pretty red cherry notes, and a hint of rhubarb. An expansive mid-palate shows rich, ripe cherry fruit and leads to a long finish with spicy notes and lovely fruit persisting throughout. Pairing:
Enjoy with Skillet Chicken with Rhubarb or brined grilled pork chops.
Drinking: 2025-2036 Decant in the early years.

2022 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir The 2022 growing season endured a bumpy start. Early April frost damage affected some sites. 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 for those shoots that survived the frost. The summer was moderately warm with warm nights, then a very warm September & October saved the day. We picked the Pinot Noir by hand, destemmed 100%, and fermented in small lots with hand punch downs. After gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak, 8% new.
