Tasting Notes

This vintage of Fiddlestix Pinot Noir shows a shimmering ruby-red color with fragrant aromas of crushed red berries, sweet spice, and subtle hints of rose petal and orange peel. Medium-bodied and silky, the palate is open and inviting, providing a creamy texture with notes of wild strawberry, brambleberry, blueberry, and a warming graham cracker crust spiced finish. Lively notes of wild lavender, fresh mint, and camphor tree blossom provide a lifted, delicate note, supported by a beautifully earthy minerality, giving this wine depth and nuance. Well-integrated, seamless tannins provide a refinement and grace exemplary of our finest Pinot Noirs.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, January 2025

“Perfumed aromas of dried strawberries, rose petals and citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied with seamless tannins and a creamy texture, giving flavors of blackberry bush, blueberries, graphite and spices. A very refined, polished and pure pinot. Drink or hold.”

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, March 2025

“Fresh and forward in feel, with good brightness to its cherry and raspberry notes, while hints of warm red licorice, red tea and sandalwood caress the finish. A crowd-pleaser. Drink now through 2027.”

      Vintage Notes
      The 2022 vintage commenced with a brief winter, giving way to a cool and extended spring and summer. This prolonged growing season facilitated slow, even ripening, resulting in significant concentration and acid retention in the fruit. In late August, a sharp heat spike affected the region, though our dedicated vineyard and winery teams adeptly responded. The accelerated harvest schedule and earlier-than-expected fruit ripening resulted in lower crop yields and high quality fruit
