Tasting notes
Last but not least in this tasting with John Raytek, the 2022 Occidental Vineyard is also coming from the West Sonoma Coast and offers a complete feel out of the gate. It’s layered and finessed, boasting notes of delicate cologne and pure cherries, framboise, wildflower, and spicy sandalwood. Long on the palate, with an outstanding, seamless texture, refined tannins, pure concentration, and a long-lasting finish, it offers exceptional purity and is going to be one to snatch up for the cellar and drink over the next 20 years.
