Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"This special Pinot Noir celebrates Coeur de Terre's original plantings -- Renelle's Block, Sarah Jane's Block, Abby's Block & Tallulah's Run. Together these four distinct (blocks) of the vineyard create a beautifully balanced wine, representative of the unique site and viticulture philosophy of Coeur de Terre. Each block shines as a reserve, and here they bring their strengths together in perfect harmony."
Distributor's Notes:
"This barrel selection brings bright flavors of salmonberry and raspberry, with high-lights of citrus peel. It’s precise and tart; less ripe than many wines from this warm year, but balanced and focused."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Heritage Reserve is rich, with a dark and brooding blend of balsamic spice, mocha and red currants lifted by a hint of camphor. This is cool-toned and racy in feel, with crisp wild berry fruits and tactile mineral tones propelled by brisk acidity. The 2022 leaves a clenching structural heft that weighs on the palate as a dried berry concentration lingers." -EG, May/2024
