Shibumi Knoll Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2022

An exceptional, small-production Pinot Noir from Shibumi Knoll, crafted by celebrated winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. The 2022 vintage opens with inviting aromas of red currant, black cherry and raspberry, layered with warm cinnamon, subtle vanilla and earthy forest-floor notes. The palate is plush and beautifully textured, balancing generous fruit with lively acidity and a savory, herbal lift. Elegant yet expressive, it delivers the richness of California Pinot Noir with a distinctly Burgundian sensibility. With just 110 cases produced, this is a compelling bottle for Pinot Noir enthusiasts and collectors seeking something special.
