Our 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley was awarded 91 points in Paul Gregutt’s Northwest Wine Guide:
“This draws from all six estate vineyards, and one sniff erases all the smoke and angst of the 2020 vintage. It’s fresh and fragrant with mixed berries, particularly flavors of just-picked marionberries, and lively with minerally acids. It spent 10 months in barrel, just long enough to pull itself together and add a gentle touch of caramel to the finish.” – Paul Gregutt
Thank you Paul for your wonderful review!
