2022 Westwood Founder's Reserve Pinot Noir, Annadel Gap, Sonoma Valley

The 2022 Westwood Founder's Reserve Pinot Noir is crafted from a 5-barrel hand selection of estate-grown fruit from the Annadel Gap Vineyard. This wine showcases both the elegance of our estate's cool-climate influence and the richness derived from the select Pinot Noir clones used to craft this standout wine. Aromas of dried blueberry, rich cherry, pomegranate, sweet cinnamon, clove, and crushed black cherry create a complex and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is fresh and energetic, with a vibrant, non-linear acidity that dances across your tongue alongside a tannic grip mixed with concentrated dark cherry flavors. The broad texture and well-defined structure promise excellent aging potential, with expectations of evolving beautifully over the next two decades. This Pinot Noir is a testament to the "opulent expression" of the Annadel Gap Vineyard, offering both immediate pleasure and long-term cellaring potential.
