Solena Estate Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir, McMinnville, USA 2022

Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is a beautifully expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the historic Hyland Vineyard, one of Oregon's oldest and most revered sites in the Willamette Valley. The wine offers enticing aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle earth and spice, followed by a silky, elegant palate with vibrant acidity and refined tannins. The 2022 vintage balances generous fruit with impressive freshness and structure, making this a polished and terroir-driven Pinot Noir that showcases the distinctive character of Oregon's old-vine vineyards.

"A transparent medium red, the 2022 Pinot Noir Hyland Vineyard comes from 50-year-old vines grown on Jory volcanic soils in McMinnville. On the nose, it offers perfumed notes of potpourri, fresh redcurrants, a hint of cinnamon spice, roses, and fresh, lifted mountain herbs. Medium-bodied and approachable, it fills the palate with fine tannins, a weightless feel, and a clean finish. It offers a lot of finesse and charm, with a refreshing feel. Drink it over the next 15 years." Jeb Dunnuck 94
