Fog’s Reach

The 2022 vintage in the Arroyo Seco experienced a relatively dry winter and cool spring. During most of the summer, we enjoyed mild daytime highs, which proved ideal for berry flavor and phenolic development. However, in early September, a 10-day heatwave hit the Arroyo Seco, as well as much of California, hastening ripening. For this bottling, Clones 667 and 777 were hand-harvested on September 17th and 24th, respectively. Our 2022 Fog’s Reach Pinot Noir underwent 8 months of aging on light lees - 35% of the blend in new French oak barrels and the remaining in 4th-fill French cooperage. This imparts subtle oak notes and viscosity on the palate while maintaining the refined fruit signature of this terroir-driven Pinot Noir.
