"Dusty and floral, the 2022 Pinot Noir Stardance opens with a coy blend of flowery underbrush and ashen stone before evolving with notes of lavender, green olive and exotic spice. This is silken and seamless, savory as well, with waves of tart wild berry fruits that swirl across a steady stream of brisk acidity and a saline mineral thrust to punctuate it all. A coating of fine tannins frames the finish but doesn’t get in the way. The Stardance leaves notes of licorice and tart blackberry that keep the mouth watering for more. The 2022 is just a baby today with a bright future ahead of it. Fantastic." -Eric Guido

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Stardance is a new bottling from 00 Wines. “It usually goes into the VGR,” proprietor Christopher Hermann says, “but in 2022, it was special on its own.” Planted in 2003 on the western side of the Yamhill-Carlton appellation near the coast range, the Pommard vines are own-rooted, unirrigated and biodynamically farmed. The vineyard is located on an east-facing slope that runs from 300 to 550 feet of elevation and the soils are Peavine, an unusual silty clay loam series." -Erin Brooks
