Tasting Notes
The 2022 Main Divide Pinot Noir is a beautifully seductive expression of cool-climate winemaking, offering a seamless blend of elegance and complexity. Made using traditional Burgundian techniques—including whole bunch fermentation and wild yeast—then matured for 18 months in fine French oak, it bursts with vibrant notes of cherry, pomegranate, and rhubarb, laced with hints of forest floor, spice, and violet. The palate is silky and plush, framed by polished tannins and a refreshing acidity that brings lift and precision. Savoury, fragrant, and refined, it’s a Pinot that dances across the tongue and leaves a lasting impression of grace and charm.
