2022 Runestone Pinot Noir
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
We give the name “Runestone” to the Pinot Noir we consider the very best of the vintage. To do this, our winemaking team carefully tastes and grades every barrel of Pinot Noir in the cellar in order to decide which eight-barrel blend best represents the essence of “Runestone.” We want it to be a rich and robust Pinot Noir while also showing the subtle and seductive nature of this fascinating grape. Aromas of crushed red raspberries, a kiss of sweet oak; savory, sweet and spicy at the same time. This is a wine that you can age for four to six more years and be glad you did! Serve it with prime rib, roasted rack of lamb, bold cheeses and charcuterie.
