Alma de Cattleya 2022 Pinot Noir, Sonoma County

Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points; “A blend of sites and clones, all from Sonoma County, the Pinot Noir was destemmed and brought up in neutral French oak. Revealing a medium ruby/translucent purple hue to go with a beautiful nose of spiced strawberries, raspberries, crushed flowers, and violets, it’s beautifully textured and medium-bodied, with good acidity and outstanding length. You’re going to be hard-pressed to find a better Sonoma County Pinot Noir at the price, and it’s going to drink brilliantly for 2-4 years.”

Winemaker Notes: “Harnessed within its medium ruby core, this Pinot Noir packs pure aromas of berry pie, pomegranate, and spicy sandalwood. Rich and textured on the palate, the senses are dazzled with fruit driven flavors of macerated blackberry and mulberry that pair seamlessly with more savory notes of dried herbs and hints of fresh earth. The youthful acidity and fine-grained tannin offer an exciting and approachable finish to this luscious wine.”
