Colene Clemens Dopp Creek Pinot Noir 2022

"While the SCME is consistently our most accessible wine each year, this 2014 is still impressively dark, bold and structured. The wine starts with cherries, rose petal and raspberry and finishes with earth, leather and oak. It is pure, dense and tannic. As with previous vintages, this is one serious Pinot Noir that will gain texture and complexity over the next decade." —winemaker

"Dark ruby in color, the Campbell Pinot is a total charmer - lusciously smooth and pliant. The nose showcases exotic aromas of intense cherry, raspberry, blood orange and warm soil. After time open, the wine fans out on the palate in flavors mirroring the nose. For all its immediate pleasure, an open bottle after 4 hours uncoils and shows incredible depth and focus. The Campbell mouthfeel goes on and on, with flavors and aromas turning more ethereal and perfumed gliding on the palate with a character specific to this site in the northern Sonoma Coast/Annapolis AVA." —winemaker

"Produced from a blend of three clones. This wine is dark purple with notes of bing cherries and red currants. The oak is present but integrated." —winemaker

"Named after the matriarch of the Hansel Family. Estate grown, produced from Dijon clones 115, 777 and 943." —winemaker

"High Haven captures the essence of California's highest and coolest growing region, and the humble, nostalgic —slightly eccentric — charm of Anderson Valley. This rustic enclave, in the shadow of the giant redwoods, produces world-class Pinot that is deeply aromatic, balancing concentrated fruit with beautiful acidity." —winemaker

"This fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel." —winemaker

"Dark ruby red color. Lifted and perfumed instantly as the wine hits the glass, with inviting aromas of red and black fruits, rose and carnation that turn spicier with air. Anthill Farms uses the more approachable, open barrels from all their Sonoma vineyards to make up this wine. The 2021 vintage showed more structure than years past at all sites, with flavors that are pleasurable and succulent from the start. Loads of crunchy, energetic fruit coat the palate, remaining elegant and fresh, fanning out through the finish." —winemaker

"The 2021 Pinot Noir is fresh and lively with perfumed black raspberry and cherry aromatics wrapped in rustic forest floor notes. Juicy Bing cherry, savory herbs, and ripe dark berries create a complex and textured palate with acid structure and balance leading to a delightfully engaging finish." —winemaker

"Soter Vineyards Estates Pinot Noir offers aromas of wild cherry pit, blueberry skins, and black pepper. Primary flavors of dark cherry, Oregon grape, and wild blueberry. Secondary flavors of fruit leather and brown baking spice. The finish is round with grippy tannins." —winemaker

"Fruit Focused. Floral hints of fresh linen, hyacinth lilt over blackberry and black cherry preserve. Great acid and structure lead to a mouthwatering finish." —winemaker
