2023 Johan Vineyards Pinot Noir

100% Pinot Noir
2023 Johan Vineyards Pinot Noir

Although we are deeply familiar with the vineyard, 2023 marked our first vintage producing this wine at Cowhorn. The season’s beautifully warm conditions allowed fruit from this cooler site to achieve an elevated level of ripeness while maintaining its signature verve and vitality. Hand-harvested, the fruit was partially destemmed, with an average of about 11% whole cluster, fermented on skins, and aged for 14 months in mostly neutral French oak, with just 12% new.

This elegantly styled Pinot Noir reveals aromas of bright raspberries, sour Montecito cherries, rhubarb, and ripe cranberries, layered with rich undertones of loamy Douglas fir forest floor, cedar, and orange peel. Its texture is vibrant and alive, defined by exuberant acids and tannins, and an enduring finish.
