2022 Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes
This enduring favorite from Hallberg Vineyard opens with bright red cherry, raspberry, and currant aromas layered with hints of rose petals, cedar, and forest floor. On the palate, summer strawberries, red plum, and blood orange mingle with savory notes of dried mushroom and a touch of bay laurel and clove. Silky tannins and lively acidity frame the vibrant red fruit, leading to a zesty, enduring finish that showcases the vineyard’s hallmark complexity and elegance.
Vineyard Notes
Named for its previous owners, the 100-acre Hallberg Vineyard is today owned and managed by wine industry veterans including vineyard manager Riggs Lokka. Nestled in the Green Valley sub-appellation, this beautiful 100% dry-farmed site enjoys refreshing daytime breezes and cool nighttime temperatures. The strong marine influence means less severe daily temperature shifts so the vines never completely shut down, producing fruit with deep, dark color, great structure, silky tannins, darker fruit flavors and earthy characteristics.
