2022 Lichtenwalter Vineyard Select Pinot Noir

2021  Lichtenwalter Vineyard SELECT. 

The 2022 growing season in the Willamette Valley delivered a late but exceptional harvest, with a cool spring delaying bud break and bloom. A warm, dry summer followed, leading to steady ripening and excellent fruit concentration. Cooler temperatures in October allowed for extended hang-time, enhancing flavor complexity and tannin development.

The 2022 Lichtenwalter Vineyard SELECT Pinot Noir is a vibrant, fruit-forward expression of Ribbon Ridge. This ruby-hued wine bursts with mixed berry and ripe peach, while black currant lingers on the finish. Sourced just two miles from our estate, this Pinot showcases the Wädenswil clone’s hallmark finesse—elegant structure, bright red fruit, and lifted floral aromatics. A supple, food-friendly profile makes it perfect for pairing, offering both approachability and depth.
