2022 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir

2022 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from Keller Estate’s lower-elevation hillside vineyard, planted to a selection of Pinot Noir clones including Pommard. Shaped by cool marine influence from the Petaluma Gap, La Cruz is known for its pronounced aromatics, savory depth, and mineral tension.

This vintage opens with aromas of dried cranberry, black cherry, and milk chocolate, layered with hints of rosemary, black pepper, and earth. On the palate, gentle tannins carry flavors of cranberry, tomato compote, brown sugar, and subtle spice, creating a beautiful balance between fruit, minerality, and rustic complexity.

Fresh, savory, and quietly expressive, this Pinot Noir captures the distinctive character of La Cruz Vineyard with elegance and restraint.
