These sites, located at elevations of 50-150 meters, feature alluvial gravel soils that impart elegance and structure. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented with 24% whole clusters in open-top fermenters, with minimal intervention and daily plunging for gentle extraction, followed by 11 months of aging in French oak barriques (27% new) and 9 months in stainless steel before bottling without fining or filtration. This sustainable approach captures the 2022 vintage’s balance of ripe fruit and freshness, resulting in a wine that reflects Martinborough’s cool-climate terroir and Escarpment’s Burgundian-inspired philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis Pinot Noir displays a bright ruby hue with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and red fruit, accented by fresh earth, orange rind, and bay leaf.
