2022 Old Guard Pinot Noir
The Old Guard and The Vanguard wines are style-driven expressions. The Vanguard is richly textured, opulent, and velvety, while The Old Guard is all about structure. The Old Guard wines are complex, energetic, taut, and firmly structured. Each “Guard” is a blended barrel selection of pinot noir or chardonnay in a well-defined style.
Dark, vibrant, and richly textured, this focused Pinot Noir layers pure fruit with subtle accents of graphite, toasted spice, and crushed stone. It's refined structure, ripe tannins, and graceful finish reflect a timeless elegance and classic character.
