2022 East Blocks Pinot Noir
The oldest vines on the Alexana Estate Vineyard were planted on volcanic soil types - Jory, Witzel, and Nekia. This section of our vineyard yields quintessential Dundee Hills wines characterized by a silky texture and flavors of red fruits and spice. Among our ‘Soil Series,’ the volcanic soils produce wines that are the lightest and most perfumed. This vintage contains aromas of raspberry and pine duff, and displays mouth-watering acidity with a taut spine, tart raspberry and pie cherry on finish on the palate.
