2022 Quartz Acorn Vineyard Pinot Noir
The Quartz Acorn Pinot Noir marries ripe blackberry and elderberry flavors with hints of cloves, tobacco, and undergrowth. A deep ruby hue is the backdrop to a luxurious palate with bold, rounded tannins and minerality. This wine exemplifies this property by providing satisfying acidity and immense depth. This vintage will age beautifully for the next 15 years.
