2022 Seven Hills Vineyard
Tasting Notes
A classic Seven Hills Vineyard expression, this wine opens with dark fruit and scents of dusty rose, complemented by a touch of vanilla bean. The palate reveals rich notes of blueberry, blackberry, and a hint of cranberry. Layers of cinnamon, cedar, nutmeg, anise, and cocoa nib add complexity, leading to a long, graceful finish. Elegant and refreshing, with balanced acidity, this wine has the depth to age beautifully—a must-have for any collector.
The Year
The 2022 growing season began with below average temperatures and above normal precipitation across the Walla Walla Valley. The cold start resulted in fewer growing days for the spring and early summer overall, but the extra rainfall and mountain snowpack prepared the area for multiple triple-digit days beginning in July. The heat contributed to optimal fruit set and a slightly larger crop. With an idyllic September and October, the grapes were able to develop a perfect balance between flavor and sugar, acid and tannin, and overall great fruit expression.
