"The 2022 Pinot Noir Holder Vineyard has intense, slowly unfurling scents of pomegranate liqueur, blood orange, tea leaves and loamy earth, gaining detail as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with red and blue fruit laced with citrus and botanical notes. It has a finely chalky texture, mouthwatering acidity and a long, layered finish."
