An old Marine ocean bed dominates the terrain of Yamhill-Carlton, and the jeweled ruby-colored 2022 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton offers a more savory side, with generous aromas of sea spray and a light umami feel, along with notes of black raspberries, grenadine, and mossy earth. Medium to full-bodied, it has a chiseled structure and a ripe feel, with hints of tea leaf and crushed stony earth. Drink 2025-2037.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton opens with an intense burst of autumnal spice and crushed raspberries. It's silky-smooth with polished red and blue fruits as lavender and violet inner florals form toward the close. While a bit short, the 2022 leaves the palate nicely refreshed with a perfumed blend of florals.
