Pinot Noir, "The Stalker," Roco, OR, 2022

Professional Ratings

• 93 James Suckling
  A simply gorgeous, ripe and rounded wine with almost-sweet fruit aromas, then a good, dry palate of black fruit and subtle oak spices. Black cherries, cloves and cinnamon on the nose, then flavors of black cherries and wild blueberries backed by moderate tannins.

  The 2022 Pinot Noir The Stalker smolders with a beguiling blend of crushed black cherries and clove, complicated by dried herbs and dusty violet flowers. The palate is round and soothingly soft, offset by a crunchy array of wild berries and crisp mineral tones, while an air of lavender arches across the palate. Pleasantly chewy and long, it leaves a sour citrus twang and spicy resonance as sweet tannins slowly fade. This Pinot Noir The Stalker was done with 100% whole cluster fruit.
