{"product_id":"flowers-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2022","title":"Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel.\u003cbr\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022 VINTAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe winter leading into 2022 combined less-than-average rainfall with higher-than-average temperatures, pushing our earliest bud break on record and yielding smaller clusters, and potential crop loads. April turned cold, and intermittent drizzle as the fruit set lowered yields a bit further. Mild summer temperatures followed, moderating earlier variations, until early September presented a vivid time stamp-a heat spell beginning Labor Day weekend that maintained daytime temperatures well over 100° for seven days. We fared well, as the majority of grapes had already been picked in anticipation of the heat, and the rest was scheduled to come in quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe resulting wines have gentle acids produced by a warm end to the growing season, yet they' re refreshingly elegant, lighter-bodied, and finely textured-unmistakably 2022 but quintessential Sonoma Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowers","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":52011491459393,"sku":"859369001636","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7223\/6097\/files\/flowers-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2023.jpg?v=1784841443","url":"https:\/\/heritagereserves.com\/products\/flowers-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2022","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
