The Applejack Vineyard Pinot component is planted on east-facing slopes with a mix of clones: Abel, Dijon (114, 115), Pommard, MV6. There was a 15% to 20% whole-bunch component in the final wine. The 2022 Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir is all about Japanese spice (miso?, good), cherry blossom, red apples, kirsch, star anise and ginger root. This is an elegant, spicy and savory wine with loads of flavor; the tannins are firm and ductile; and the fruit is fleshy and supple. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Downright sexy from first sniff, Applejack evokes wild raspberries, mulberries, crushed roses, summer herbs and sweet-savory-earthy nuances like hoisin-glazed mushrooms. It glides across the tongue like glycerine, buoyed by the mid-palate with a lick of tart berry acidity, and tugged by savory, cat's tongue tannins. Well developed now, it could evolve further for another 8-10 years.
