My recent tasting with Tom Garrett at Dakota Shy was instructive on so many levels. Starting with the 2022s, the wines give a very clear sense of which sites struggled with the heat and which fared better. Garrett explained that the intense heat burned off 30-50% of the natural tannins in the wines. As a result, he favored longer macerations at higher temperatures, with more pumpovers than usual to help build structure and depth in the wines. Overall, the 2022s are solid across the board. The 2023s are wonderfully precise, vivid young wines that have a ton to offer, starting with gorgeous expressions of place.
