Vineyards100% Blue Rock's Gapstone Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap AVA.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Blue Rock Pinot Noir is a blend of
Pommard, Mariafeld, Mt. Eden and 115 The vintage of 2022 was memorable
for its brevity. All grapes were harvested before the end of September.
Terms like "Heat Dome" and "Rolling Blackouts" reemerged in our
vernacular. Even in the cool, windy Petaluma Gap, the harvest began in
earnest the first week of September.
Food Affinities
Aromas of mixed berry compote, baking spices
and dried cranberry are intertwined with lifted, floral nuances. The
palate displays red fruit, sweet and savory notes and the trademark racy
acidity of the Petaluma Gap. The finish has tremendous depth with
elements of bittersweet cocoa, toasted caramel and spice.
Ageability
Elegance and the seamless texture will
compliment the bright youthful fruit when enjoyed soon, but earthy,
savory and ripe fruit elements will evolve with ageing for up to 10
years.
