Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2021
Audrey Frick writes: The 2021 Pinot Noir Oregon is composed of 60% fruit from the Willamette Valley, 40% fruit from the Umqua Valley, and a bit from the Rogue Valley. It pours a transparent medium ruby and is forward with somewhat primary and juicy aromas of ripe red berries, crushed flowers, and a hint of forest spice. Easy-drinking and medium-bodied, it lifts cleanly off the palate and is straightforward, with a lot of charm for early drinking. Bottled under screwcap - Jeb Dunnuck
Tim Fish writes: Sleek and fruit-forward, with cherry and dill flavors that finish with snappy tannins. Drink now through 2028. - Wine Spectator
90 Wine & Spirits Magazine: This is a steal for the way its savor and black cherry collide on the palate. It starts off with an herbal riff on cut-leaf tobacco. The tannins are firm and a touch furry, but the wine’s acid buoy the flavors into a bright burst on the finish.
