More muscular, the 2022 Pinot Noir Roland Green has more depth to its ruby red color, but it’s still transparent. The nose benefits from a little air on opening, revealing pure black raspberries, cherry blossoms, dark earth, mossy forest floor, and sweet herbs. It has broader shoulders and a heartier, more muscular feel on the palate, with an expansive structure, so it can stand up to a lot. Built for the long haul, it’s going to hold on for decades. Drink 2025-2040.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Roland Green is savory to the core, with a darkly floral bouquet that blends earth tones and exotic spices with hints of tomato leaf, lavender and blackberries. It opens with a gentle inner sweetness and silky textures as masses of ripe red and blue fruits slowly saturate, developing a mineral tinge toward the close. The 2022 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration as a lick of sour citrus adds contrast and fine-grained tannins coat the senses. Deep and complex, with immaculate balance, the Roland Green is the total package.
