James Suckling
Aromas of warm spices, sandalwood and pine duff along with minerality and crushed wild berry. The palate is deep and powerful, with salinity, a dark but pure fruit profile and a long, spicy finish. A lot to unpack in this wine. Medium- to full-bodied. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from the western edge of the Russian River Valley at 900 feet elevation, the 2022 Pinot Noir UV Lucky Well Vineyard is in Silver Eagle on Stoetz Ridge, which straddles the ridgeline with both east- and west-facing exposition. The wine displays a bright ruby hue and is wild and expressive on the nose, with notes of bright spices, wild strawberries, and incense. The palate is focused, elegant, and pure, with super-fine tannins, even, fresh acidity, and a long-lasting finish. It has fantastic texture, and while it’s drinking beautifully now, it will continue to drink well for 15 or more years.

Wine Advocate
From Calera and Swan clone vines, the 2022 Pinot Noir UV Lucky Well Vineyard is complex, pure and expressive. The nose is bursting with raspberry, pomegranate and grapefruit aromas, plus nuances of mossy bark, black tea, bitters and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate features layered, dynamic flavors, a luxuriously silky texture, vibrant acidity and a hauntingly long finish.

The 2022 Pinot Noir UV - Lucky Well Vineyard is redolent of black cherry, plum, new leather, tobacco, incense and dried flowers. It offers lovely immediacy in a mid-weight, approachable style with good balance and no hard edges. Floral and savory overtones extend the finish nicely. (AG)
