2022 Wayfarer ‘Golden Mean’ Pinot Noir Fort Ross-Seaview

VIN95 The 2022 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is a blend of Pommard and Swan clones. Bright and sculpted, with terrific energy, the 2022 sizzles with tension. Crushed flowers, sweet red/purplish fruit, mint, chalk and crushed rocks abound. This nervy, taut Pinot is terrific. The 2022 is understated and beautifully precise, with tons of definition and fine persistence.
JD94 A youthful ruby magenta color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is exuberant and fresh in the glass with notes of wild raspberries, fresh violets, forest herbs, and elegant spice. Medium-bodied, it’s very appealing now, with refined tannins, clean, fresh acidity, and a long, tapered finish. It’s highly elegant and charming, with a clean feel all the way through and a lot of longevity ahead. Drink 2024-2036.
