The 2022 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak Vineyard has a darker ruby color and is spicy with fresh black cherries, darker fresh earth, violets, and incense, and inviting warming spice (but it's more just the sensation than heat). It’s medium-framed, with broader shoulders, ripe tannins, and even acidity. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2022s from Ross Cobb are some of the best wines from the vintage, especially those that are sourced from his estate vineyard holdings. The reds are tension-packed and structured, with textures reminiscent of elegantly styled Nebbiolo, and I highly encourage readers to check them out.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak Vineyard is a beautiful, exotic wine. Dark-toned fruit, cloves, leather, spice and mocha are all dialed up. This is a slightly bigger wine for Ross Cobb, but it works. Readers will find an ample, resonant Pinot with a ton of texture. Here, too, the balance is impeccable as the wine gains focus with air.

Ross Cobb follows his stellar 2021 Pinots with a set of 2022s that aren’t too far behind. Cobb opted to pick all his Pinot fruit after the Labor Day heat spikes. He gave the 2022s around 30 days on the skins, with a healthy amount of whole clusters. The wines spent 22 months in light-toast French oak barrels, in the classic Cobb style that favors longer élevage in wood than is common in the United States. Alcohols are a bit higher than normal, but not noticeably so. Although the 2022s don't quite have the dimension of the 2021s, they come very close. Readers will also want to check out the Rieslings, especially the Cole Ranch, which is terrific. - Galloni Jan 2025

Fermented with 60% whole clusters, the 2022 Pinot Noir Rice Spivak Vineyard unfurls slowly on the nose from red cherry, strawberry and raspberry to nuances of licorice, saline and spice. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, detailed flavors. It’s structured by chalky tannins and refreshing acidity and has a long, layered finish. It feels latent and will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar. 200 cases were made.
