Cattleya’s 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir represents its appellation well, with cherry, cola and raspberry joined by pulsing fall spice notes and moderate oak toast. All the elements are in tune, and they ride out together through a long finish that’s already quite integrated. It is perfectly ready to drink now with a short decanting, or age it five to ten years of pleasurable evolution.
