Seabold Pinot Noir Eden Rift Vineyard 2022 Cienega Valley - San Benito County

Tasting Notes: Rich and layered, with blue plum, sappy black cherry, red licorice, cinnamon, and preserved violets.

Winery Notes: An incredibly complex vineyard consisting of a full range of altitudes and exposures, with flat valley floors climbing via terraces to high-altitude hills, facing every direction on the compass. Located in San Benito County, Eden Rift is the oldest continually-producing estate vineyard in California. The vineyard shares the same soils, climate, and grape clonal material as its famous next-door neighbor, Calera. Hand-harvested at night. Grapes are hand-sorted at the winery; this vintage allowed for 65% whole cluster retention. Native yeast fermentation takes place in stainless steel, after which the wine is transferred to third-fill barriques and puncheons. After 15 months of aging, the wine is racked and bottled unfined and unfiltered.\r 2 barrels produced
