Fresh raspberries and sour cherries on the nose, and spices such as black pepper and cardamom in the back, mingle with hints of earthiness and herbs redolent of dried thyme and fresh pennyroyal. Medium bodied with a vibrant, textured midpalate. Marked by elegant tannins and balanced acidity, this is a complex, nuanced wine with a long finish.
Vinous: 90 Points
Vivid black cherry comes together with sage, shavings of orange zest and spice as the 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley comes together in the glass. This is racy with cooling acidity and ripe red and blue fruits that saturate. Grippy tannins amass toward the close. It tapers off long and structured, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge as hints of exotic spice linger on.
James Suckling: 90 Points
An easygoing red with forest berries, mild spices and a hint of flowers on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Linear and straightforward with a fruity finish. Drink now.
