2022 Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir
Available
95 Points- Owen Bargreen
This Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast is an energetic, fresh wine, with aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, forest floor, cigar box, iris, and clove. The balanced entry opens up to flavors of black cherry, cigar wrapper, wet earth, graphite, and subtle baking spices that linger on the palate. This wine is youthful, with focused energy and wonderful tension. A natural partner for pairing with food, this beautiful Pinot Noir will drink well in the near-to-mid term.

Latin Translation: From Soil to Bottle
Situated in the rolling hills north of West Sonoma County on the border of the Green Valley and Sonoma Coast Appellations, Silver Eagle Vineyard sits well above the valleys of the Russian River, offering its vines a respite from the thick fog that often covers those below. Consistent daytime sun and heat combine with the cool nights from the nearby ocean to build this site’s signature terroir.
