A slightly more ruby red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors comes from an east-facing slope that’s usually about two weeks behind both flowering and for harvest. The wine shows a more mineral-inflected profile on the nose, with notes of crushed stones, red cherries, red berries, and fresh rosemary. It offers more tension and brightness, with a more vertical feel, coiled tannins, refreshing, mouthwatering mineral undertones, and a lift of orange. It’s long and will benefit from another year or more in bottle to show its best. (AF)
