90 Points – Jeb Dunnuck

bottle of pinot noirOur 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir was awarded a 90-point score from Jeb Dunnuck:

“A solid appellation wine, the dark ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is ripe and sunny with aromas of blackberry, scorched earth, and violets. Full-bodied, with a silky texture, a stony mouthfeel, and notes of toasted cedar on the finish, it’s supple and attractive now and will drink well over the next 3-5 years.”

-Audrey Frick, Contributing Editor

In 2017, Jeb decided to leave the Wine Advocate and go back to his roots as an independent wine critic, launching his own publication JebDunnuck.com. Through the platform, Dunnuck offers comprehensive, consumer-focused coverage of the most interesting wines from California, Washington, Southern France, and Bordeaux, while seeking out discoveries from around the world.
