2022 Trisaetum Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

2022 Trisaetum Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
93 Points - Dr. Owen Bargreen

"This absolutely killer 2022 ‘Willamette Valley’ bottling was sourced from all three of the Trisaetum estate vineyards. This is juicy and lively Pinot Noir, offering cracked black pepper alongside crunchy red fruits, tobacco leaf and salty soils on the palate. Nicely textured, with outstanding finesse, enjoy now and over the next ten years."  Dr. Owen Bargreen

Wine Profile
Production Notes
2022 Vintage Notes: A cold spring and mid-April frost created a very late start to the growing season and delayed harvest. The threat of rain ruining a late harvest is ever-present in the Willamette Valley, but there's also the chance a dry, cool weather pattern creates incredibly long hang-times and correspondingly very complex and long-lived wines. Fortunately, the 2022 vintage was the latter with the sparkling harvest occurring from September 20th-30th; and the still wine harvest not beginning until October 1st and lasting until October 22nd. A thirty-two day picking window with perfect temperatures and no rain is very rare and produced some of the longest hang times we have ever seen. And long hang times produce exceptional wines.
