Lange Estate Winery and Vineyards Lange Reserve Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

The 2022 Pinot Noir Reserve blossoms with a bouquet of wild berries and florals. This is lifted in feel with silky textures and polished red and blue fruits underscored by tactile mineral tones. Suggestions of lavender candies and violet inner florals linger long as the 2022 leaves subtly grippy tannins and slowly fading hints of sour citrus.

Spicy and lifted, the 2022 Pinot Noir Reserve pours a jeweled ruby hue and is forward with aromas of medicinal herbs, black cherry preserve, and blood orange. Full-bodied and plush on the palate, it offers a velvety texture, with its characteristic floral perfume shining all the way through the palate, and has wonderful purity of its fruit on a long finish, with sweet tannins. It’s another super-charming wine now but will have a large drinking window as it shed its baby fat and reveals its more savory and umami tones. Drink 2023-2033.

Generous and polished, showing multilayered raspberry and cherry flavors laced with notes of savory cinnamon and orange-tinged tea. Finishes with refined tannins. Drink now through 2032. 3,200 cases made. (Tim Fish)
