JOSEPH STEWART PINOT NOIR 2022

Whole-cluster fermentation anchors the winemaking approach at Joseph Stewart, a decision that adds structural lift and spice to what California Pinot Noir can otherwise render too soft. Sourced from cool-climate sites across California where coastal fog and moderate diurnal shifts slow ripening and preserve acidity, the 2022 delivers raspberry, red cherry, and baking spice on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with round tannins and a smooth texture, finishing with lingering red fruit and a subtle herbal edge from the stems.
