2022 Last Stop Pinot Noir 750ml

Ample winter rains replenished soil moisture across the Russian River Valley, including the Last Stop estate vineyard. As the vines emerged from winter dormancy, intermittent rain showers persisted into early spring, fostering robust canopy growth; however, crop levels were lower than usual due to the damp conditions during flowering, resulting in fewer berries per cluster and smaller overall berry size.

Nestled within the Green Valley AVA, a sub-region of the Russian River Valley AVA renowned for its dense fog cover, our Last Stop vineyard benefited from the cooling influence of the marine layer during the 2022 growing season. This proved especially crucial as temperatures rose in the summer, exacerbated by the arrival of a significant heat dome over much of
California.
